The EU Taxonomy is a classification system that shows which economic activities are environmentally sustainable and can therefore be considered as "green". It forms the basis of the EU Sustainable Finance Regulatory Framework, especially the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (SFDR) and Non-Financial Reporting Directive NFRD). Stricter disclosure requirements and the increasing demand for sustainable financial products require both companies from the real economy and financial market participants to understand and apply the EU Taxonomy.
This training appeals to a wide range of participants. During the workshop, the trainers will address the different areas in which the EU Taxonomy can be applied either by corporates or by financial market participants (e.g., strategy development, risk management, reporting, portfolio management, use of sustainable financing structures, etc.) and thus provide participants with a holistic understanding of how the EU Taxonomy works. The course incorporates case studies, which offer detailed steps of the practical application of the EU Taxonomy.
Our experienced trainers have an in-depth understanding of the EU Taxonomy and are partly active members of the European Commission's Sustainable Finance Platform. Therefore, each training reflects the latest state of the EU Taxonomy and brings into the classroom all the current discussions and developments (e.g., classification of gas and nuclear technology).
