EU Taxonomy: Practical guide for manufacturing companies on reporting in accordance with the CSRD

The EU Taxonomy aims to establish a standardized classification system to determine which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable. This common language helps investors, businesses, and policymakers make informed decisions about sustainable investments and the transition to a sustainable economy.

As part of the European Green Deal, the EU has defined six key environmental objectives that form the core of the Taxonomy. Economic activities are only classified as "sustainable" if they make a substantial contribution to at least one of these objectives: climate change mitigation, climate change adaptation, water and marine resources, circular economy, pollution prevention, and biodiversity.
