EU Taxonomy

Reporting & Disclosure
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system establishing a list of environmentally sustainable economic activities. It defines six environmental objectives: climate mitigation, climate adaptation, water, circular economy, pollution, and biodiversity. Activities must make a substantial contribution to at least one objective, do no significant harm to others, and meet minimum social safeguards. Companies under CSRD must report taxonomy-aligned revenue, CapEx, and OpEx percentages.
