Regulatory Framework
The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) is an EU directive that aims to enhance and standardize the sustainability reporting requirements for organizations. It expands on the previous Non-Financial Reporting Directive (NFRD) by broadening the scope of companies required to report through a staggered approach, increasing the detail and rigor of the reports and requiring assurance on the reported information. The CSRD mandates that organizations disclose information on their environmental impact, social practices and governance matters to provide stakeholders with a comprehensive view of their sustainability performance. This initiative is part of the EU's broader strategy to integrate sustainable finance into its financial system and increase transparency in corporate behavior.
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system that defines which economic activities and investments meet the necessary criteria to be considered “green” and have the potential to contribute to the six environmental objectives. It is part of the EU's sustainable finance framework, aimed at supporting the European Green Deal by directing investments towards green projects and activities that have a positive impact on the climate and the environment. The EU Taxonomy aims to provide clarity and transparency for investors, companies, issuers and project promoters. It facilitates the increase of investments in sustainable projects and contributes to the EU's climate and energy targets for 2030 as well as the long-term vision of a climate-neutral Europe by 2050.
