What is the EU Taxonomy?

The EU Taxonomy is a classification system developed by the European Union to define which economic activities are considered environmentally sustainable. It provides a clear framework for companies and investors to assess and report sustainability in line with EU climate and environmental goals.

Key facts about the EU Taxonomy:

• Defines which activities are sustainable
• Helps companies comply with EU climate goals
• Supports green investment and ESG transparency
• Aligned with CSRD and Green Deal objectives

Understanding the EU Taxonomy

The EU Taxonomy is a unified classification system that helps identify which economic activities contribute significantly to environmental objectives. Introduced as part of the European Green Deal, it plays a central role in supporting Europe’s transition to a climate-neutral and sustainable economy.

The taxonomy provides specific technical criteria that companies must meet to claim their activities as environmentally sustainable. These criteria are aligned with broader regulations, including the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), ensuring consistency across ESG disclosures and financial reporting.

Why Does It Matter?

The taxonomy enables financial institutions, asset managers, and companies to:

• Avoid greenwashing
• Identify sustainable investment opportunities
• Meet legal requirements for ESG transparency

It is especially relevant for organizations operating in energy, construction, transport, manufacturing, and real estate—sectors with significant environmental impact.
