Experts from the Platform on Sustainable Finance unveiled, on Monday 28 February, their report on a social taxonomy in the context of the current EU legislative environment on sustainable finance (e.g. ‘taxonomy’ regulation, proposed CSRD...)
This report has focused on the current structure of the environmental taxonomy, with actors in the market expecting a common structure for social and environmental issues.
Thus, the proposed structure of the social taxonomy incorporates the following structural aspects of the environmental taxonomy: - the development of social objectives; - types of substantial contributions; - criteria for compliance with the ‘do no significant harm’ principle; - minimum guarantees.
However, the social taxonomy departs from the environmental taxonomy by containing sub-goals that specify different aspects of the three social goals: decent work, adequate living standards, and inclusive and sustainable communities and societies.
