The EU Taxonomy has emerged as a crucial framework in driving investments towards sustainable activities within the European Union's financial landscape. In this fourth edition of our EU Taxonomy disclosure survey, it was particularly interesting to investigate whether overall alignment percentages have increased, and whether companies’ disclosures are becoming more consistent in scope and content. Furthermore, we assessed whether the overall quality of the disclosures has changed with the transposition of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) into national law, requiring that the company’s sustainability reports, including their Taxonomy disclosures, to be audited by an external assurance provider. Not only does the report look at the disclosures of all 275 sample companies and discuss overall developments, it also does a deep dive into sector-specific developments.
