Translate sustainability performance into investment credibility
Assess, quantify, and communicate sustainability performance through EU Taxonomy KPIs that support reporting, financing, and investment discussions.
Take a structured approach to producing EU Taxonomy metrics
Our EU Taxonomy solution helps organizations move from assessment to disclosure within a centralized reporting environment. Companies can evaluate eligibility and alignment, calculate EU Taxonomy KPIs, maintain supporting evidence, and generate disclosure-ready outputs through a structured and repeatable workflow.
Centralize EU Taxonomy data, calculations, documentation, and reporting in one environment. Reduce manual effort, improve consistency across reporting cycles, and create a reliable foundation for sustainability reporting, investor communications, and sustainable finance initiatives. For organizations reporting under multiple frameworks, our solution also helps connect EU Taxonomy disclosures with broader sustainability reporting requirements.
Put sustainability performance
into context
The EU Taxonomy is a cornerstone of the European Union’s flagship sustainable finance initiative, designed to direct capital toward environmentally sustainable economic activities.
Organizations subject to the framework must report the share of revenue, capital expenditures (CapEx), and operating expenditures (OpEx) associated with EU Taxonomy-eligible and Taxonomy-aligned activities.
Increasingly used by investors, lenders, and other capital providers, EU Taxonomy metrics have become a common way to evaluate sustainability performance, transition progress, and sustainable finance opportunities. As a result, EU Taxonomy reporting has evolved beyond compliance into a tool for communicating sustainability performance through decision-ready financial metrics while helping companies access finance.

Frequently Asked Questions
EU Taxonomy reporting is the process of assessing economic activities against the EU Taxonomy framework and disclosing the share of revenue, capital expenditures (CapEx), and operating expenditures (OpEx) associated with eligible and aligned activities. The framework provides a common language for investors, lenders, and other stakeholders to evaluate environmental sustainability performance and transition progress.
EU Taxonomy reporting helps organizations communicate sustainability performance through recognized, investment-relevant KPIs. By quantifying the proportion of activities that meet EU Taxonomy criteria, companies can provide investors, lenders, and capital providers with consistent information to evaluate sustainability performance, transition credibility, and sustainable finance opportunities.
Calculating EU Taxonomy KPIs typically requires organizations to identify relevant economic activities, assess eligibility and alignment against EU Taxonomy criteria, and connect those activities to financial data. This enables the calculation of EU Taxonomy-aligned revenue, CapEx, OpEx, and other reporting indicators while maintaining supporting documentation and transparent methodologies.
