The EU Taxonomy represents a significant milestone in the classification of sustainable economic activities and aims to support investors and companies in making sustainable investment decisions. The EU’s objective is to redirect capital into sustainable activities through increased transparency, thereby contributing to the achievement of EU climate goals.

In the discussion paper by econsense, the Frankfurt School of Finance & Management and the University of Kassel, we examine the initial implementation of the EU Taxonomy by companies in Germany and explore the following questions:

• What is the level of EU Taxonomy-aligned KPIs across different industries?

• What challenges were encountered in the implementation?

• What possibilities exist to further develop the EU Taxonomy?

In our webinar, we want to engage with several investors and discuss the key findings of the paper. econsense and the Green and Sustainable Finance Cluster Germany invite you to join us online on July 13 at 12:15 pm to get a better understanding how investors already utilize EU Taxonomy data and what other corporate sustainability disclosures investors deem relevant for investment decisions.
