EU Advisory and policy
EU Taxonomy
The EU Taxonomy sets requirements – but also opens opportunities. We help you gain clarity, understand your obligations, and deliver the documentation you need.
The EU Taxonomy for sustainable activities plays a central role in driving the green transition of the financial sector. It is relevant both for companies required to report and for those aiming to stay ahead by using the taxonomy as a strategic tool.
By understanding the taxonomy, you gain insight into which of your activities meet the EU’s definitions of sustainability. This strengthens your dialogue with investors, banks, and customers – and provides inspiration and direction for ESG initiatives and the development of new sustainability efforts.
The EU Taxonomy aims to make it easier to identify and invest in environmentally sustainable activities. It defines what qualifies as sustainable and sets clear requirements for how sustainability is assessed.
The EU Taxonomy sets requirements – but also opens opportunities. We help you gain clarity, understand your obligations, and deliver the documentation you need.
If your company is required to report, the taxonomy becomes a fixed element of your management report. If not, it still offers a structured way to position yourself in a landscape of rising expectations for corporate responsibility.
Navigating the EU Taxonomy can be complex, but with our structured advisory approach, you gain a clear and practical framework to work from – one that creates real value for your business.
Under the EU Taxonomy, companies must report on three economic key performance indicators:
We guide you through five key steps to ensure you understand the requirements – and that your company meets them.
We help you identify which of your activities fall within the scope of the EU Taxonomy.
Together, we assess whether the eligible activities make a substantial contribution to one or more of the EU’s six environmental objectives.
We evaluate whether your activities comply with the ‘Do No Significant Harm’ (DNSH) principles and minimum social safeguards.
We calculate how much of your turnover, investments, and operating costs are linked to the aligned activities.
We deliver a comprehensive report showing how your economic activities align with the taxonomy – from overview to final results.
On 26 February 2025, the European Commission presented an "omnibus proposal" to simplify various sustainability reporting requirements – including those related to the EU Taxonomy.
