About the EU Taxonomy
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system developed by the European Union to guide sustainable economic development. It defines which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable by assessing their contribution to six core environmental objectives:

Climate change mitigation
Climate change adaptation
Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
Transition to a circular economy
Pollution prevention and control
Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems

By mandating greater transparency in environmental reporting, the taxonomy aims to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon, resource-efficient economy. Understanding and applying this framework is now essential for businesses striving to meet regulatory expectations and sustainability goals.
