EU Taxonomy
Classification, KPIs and reporting in one service
The EU taxonomy aims to establish uniform criteria for the classification of sustainable economic activities and to continuously increase their share of the overall economy through corresponding reporting obligations.
agradblue guides its clients through the complex regulatory requirements and implications of the EU Taxonomy Regulation and supports them with successful implementation from start to finish. This also includes determining the green asset ratio, the associated calculation and creation of turnover and CapEx tables as well as the corresponding reporting texts.
Our focus is on applying the technical criteria for individual assets, but also for portfolios with various economic activities, as well as carrying out checks to ensure that there are no significant negative impacts ("Do No Significant Harm"). We can also provide practical support in complying with the minimum social safeguards. We combine the regulatory requirements with your corporate strategy and develop suitable concepts to set the corresponding value creation levers in motion.
