Challenges

What’s Holding Companies Back Every Day in Implementing the EU Taxonomy

A wide range of economic activities

The EU taxonomy covers numerous potentially relevant economic activities. The challenge lies in identifying the activities that are actually affected.

Lack of Transparency in KPIs

To calculate revenue, CapEx, and OpEx metrics, data from various business units must be consolidated. Inconsistent data sources make these calculations more difficult.

Complex Conformity Analysis

In addition to relevant economic activities, technical evaluation criteria and DNSH requirements must be professionally assessed and documented.

Constant regulatory changes

New regulatory developments are changing requirements, deadlines, and scopes of application. Companies must continuously review which regulations actually apply.
