Taxonomy is a system of uniform classification of sustainable development activities. It is intended to facilitate the identification and classification of investments that support sustainable development, setting out the conditions that an economic activity/investment must meet in order to be classified as sustainable.
Who is obliged to reporting?
- Companies required to report non-financially (NFRD)
- Financial market participants that offer financial products in accordance with the EU SFDR (Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation)
