The ‘Platform on Sustainable Finance’, a stakeholder group advising the European Commission on the EU taxonomy, delivered a report on Monday 28 November, completing initial recommendations presented in March (see EUROPE 12923/24).
In particular, the report provides a methodological framework for describing ‘enabling activities’ that contribute substantially to the environmental objectives described in the Regulation establishing the EU taxonomy.
The report focused in particular on the following activities: agriculture and forestry, the pharmaceutical industry, the chemical industry, and inland waterway transport.
The authors recognise that due to time constraints, some of the ‘do no significant harm’ requirements are missing, for example for the aviation and agriculture sectors. They nevertheless recommend that the European Commission finalise this work.
