Webinars EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities: ins- and outs

The final report on the ‘EU Taxonomy for Sustainable activities’ was published by the Technical Expert Group (TEG), commissioned by the European Commission. This report is an important milestone in the development of a unified classification system, where financial institutions and companies can determine which activities qualify as sustainable. Sustainalize organizes three webinars on this topic, as the taxonomy is expected to have a significant impact on financial institutions and industry. 

Webinar 1. The taxonomy: what is it and how important is it?

In the first webinar, Nick de Ruiter and Pieter van ‘t Hoff (Sustainalize) give an introduction to the purpose and structure of the EU Taxonomy.

Webinar 2. The taxonomy and the financial sector

During the second webinar, focusing on financial institutions, guest speakers Carel Cronenberg (EBRD) and Brenda Kramer (PGGM) outline the broader context of the EU Green Deal, the role of financial institutions, and the main milestones.

Webinar 3. The taxonomy and the industry

The closing webinar focused on the industry. Felicity Spors (Climate KIC) worked with Carel Cronenberg on the steps to be taken for the industry. Together they explain the structure of the EU Taxonomy and refute the argument that the EU Taxonomy would be too complex. In addition, they clarify the status of the current version, which is sufficiently robust to get started.
