How we help
Helping you navigate sustainable regulation
EU Taxonomy
The EU taxonomy is a classification tool to help investors and companies consistently determine whether an economic activity is environmentally sustainable or not. It provides specific, quantitative thresholds on environmental performance for economic activities to be considered compliant with the EU taxonomy allowing market participants to navigate the transition to a low-carbon economy.
The EU taxonomy for sustainable activities is based around six environmental objectives:
1. Climate change mitigation
2. Climate change adaption
3. Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
4. Transition to a circular economy, waste prevention and recycling
5. Pollution prevention and control
6. Protection of healthy ecosystems
The LSEG EU Taxonomy data solution allows market participants to identify and report on the proportion of their portfolios which are eligible or aligned to EU taxonomy objectives. The data can help identify exposure to climate transition risks and identify opportunities for investment in companies undertaking green activities.
