“Sustainability in Action” Series

By P. Batziaki

The EU Green Taxonomy is redefining how businesses measure and report their sustainability performance. As part of the EU’s broader sustainable finance agenda, this classification system determines what economic activities can be labeled as environmentally sustainable. Companies that align with these criteria can access green investment opportunities, while those that do not may face increasing financial and regulatory pressures.

Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors are also becoming a central focus for investors. Businesses are now required to disclose their ESG performance, ensuring transparency in sustainability efforts. This means integrating sustainability metrics into corporate decision-making, from carbon footprint reductions to supply chain ethics.

For businesses, understanding and aligning with the Green Taxonomy is crucial. It influences access to capital, regulatory compliance, and brand reputation. Companies must ensure that their activities meet sustainability benchmarks to attract investors and secure long-term growth.

Sustainable finance is no longer an optional strategy, it is becoming the new norm. Businesses that proactively integrate ESG principles and align with green finance frameworks will not only meet regulatory requirements but also enhance their competitiveness in a rapidly evolving market.
