EU Taxonomy and CSRD
We combine financial and technical expertise and insights to help clients capture opportunities and reduce risks in the EU Sustainable Finance Action plan.
Creating value for clients via EU Taxonomy alignment and CSRD integration
We help our clients navigate the ever-evolving sustainable finance landscape. Beyond compliance, we have an emphasis on value and opportunity creation.
From eligibility to alignment, from disclosure to improvement, we ensure that the opportunities that the EU Taxonomy presents to our clients are truly maximised.
Reaping the benefits in a new regulatory landscape
The aim of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is to drive positive change, by ensuring companies disclose information about the impacts of their activities on people and the environment.
We work with our clients across all sectors to clearly identify their impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities. Our approach enables companies to use the CSRD to build resilience, inform strategy, strengthen governance, and identify and manage risks.
We provide expert guidance across the full CSRD lifecycle from double materiality to full disclosure. Further, we enable application and integration of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), adding value for clients.
FEATURED INSIGHTS
Sustainable investment products have been attracting new capital in a rapid pace. Effectively, SFRD Article 8 and Article 9 products have gained a continuously larger share of the market. But uncertainty remains. In this long-read, our experts share lessons learned and present eight focus areas to gain clarity and avoid downgrading financial products.
The complex requirements of the CSRD and associated ESRS are currently leaving many companies in a state of confusion. What is required? When do they apply? Where do you even start? In this piece, two of our experts provide digestible lessons learned from Ramboll’s work to date in carrying out double materiality assessments in multiple companies and across differing sectors.
The “EU Taxonomy Regulation” will require most European financial institutions and non-financial companies to outline the environmental sustainability of their economic activities. Given that the first EU Taxonomy disclosures are due by the end of 2021 and throughout 2022 it is important to act now.
