What is the EU Taxonomy?
The EU Taxonomy is a classification tool that helps investors understand whether an economic activity is environmentally sustainable or not. An activity is deemed sustainable if it:
- Makes a substantial contribution to an environmental objective
- Does not significantly harm other objectives
- Meets minimum social safeguards
The EU Taxonomy classifies economic activities along six environmental objectives:
- Climate change mitigation
- Climate change adaptation
- The sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
- The transition to a circular economy
- Pollution prevention and control
- The protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems
As of January 2022, financial market participants (FMPs) offering financial instruments in the EU have been required to make Taxonomy disclosures for products that promote environmental characteristics or objectives. A comply-or-explain disclosure is required for all other products. The disclosure requirements involve calculating the percentage of investments that are Taxonomy-aligned.
