The EU Taxonomy is a key building block of sustainable finance in Europe and provides detailed definitions of which economic activities can be regarded as environmentally sustainable (or simply “green”).
Disclosure regulations and demand for sustainable financial products create the need for financial institutions to understand and operationalise the EU Taxonomy.
This 1 hour webinar is an ideal introduction to the topic for financial services professionals who would like to develop an understanding of the EU Taxonomy and will cover:
• What it is
• How it works in practice
• When it must be used
• Why it has been introduced by policymakers, and what it is intended to achieve
• Future developments, including the “Social” Taxonomy.
The event will be held over Zoom. Please ensure you have access to Zoom in advance of the event taking place. Zoom is available on all PCs, laptops, tablets and Apple or Android devices. The link to join the event will be emailed to registered members on the day of the event.
