EU Green Deal
With the EU Green Deal, the European Commission aims to make the European economy more sustainable (including 55% less greenhouse gases by 2030). In addition to public investments, the business community must also contribute to this.

The EU Taxonomy is a tool within the EU Green Deal that encourages investments to contribute to the Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) objectives. The financial sector plays a guiding role in this by means of the investments they make.

The EU Taxonomy strives for more than just the reduction of CO2 emissions. Six environmental objectives have been formulated, as shown on the right.
