EU Taxonomy Advisory Service
Streamline Compliance and Enhance Sustainability
As a vital tool underpinning the European Green Deal, the EU Taxonomy helps direct financial flows towards sustainable activities, requiring companies to disclose the extent of their operations' sustainability. All companies falling under the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) must disclose their financial KPIs in accordance with the EU Taxonomy as part of their sustainability statements in the management report.
DEKRA’s EU Taxonomy Advisory Service offers comprehensive guidance for businesses navigating the complexities of the EU Taxonomy. Our service breaks down this intricate classification system into manageable milestones, ensuring your business can comply with regulatory requirements while seizing opportunities for green financing and sustainable growth.
As expected, the European Commission presented its first omnibus package to simplify sustainability reporting requirements on February 26, 2025. With the publication of this draft, concrete proposals for simplifying sustainability reporting are now available. Companies that have previously been subject to existing reporting requirements are particularly affected. As the proposals are still in the draft stage, they are not yet binding - the full legislative process must first be completed before they can come into force.
This Quick Check is designed to clarify essential regulatory aspects for your company and pinpoint areas in your EU Taxonomy readiness that may require further support, training, or advice from DEKRA experts.

Our Approach
DEKRA's EU Taxonomy Advisory Service provides essential support to businesses navigating the complexities of the EU Taxonomy. This service guides companies through the necessary steps to ensure their economic activities are classified correctly under the EU's sustainability regulations. Here is how our service can assist:
Starting with an in-depth introduction to the EU Taxonomy, helping companies understand the framework and its implications for business operations.
The EU Taxonomy is a classification system that identifies economic activities and investments that qualify as "green" by aligning with six environmental objectives. This system, integral to the EU's sustainable finance framework, supports the European Green Deal by steering investments towards environmentally positive projects. It aims to enhance transparency and boost sustainable investments, contributing to the EU’s 2030 climate and energy targets and the goal of a climate-neutral Europe by 2050.
By utilizing DEKRA’s expertise, businesses can confidently align with EU sustainability regulations, enhance their access to green finance, and contribute to a more sustainable future. This service is especially crucial as compliance with the EU Taxonomy also impacts adherence to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), with non-compliance potentially leading to sanctions . However, the EU Taxonomy is not only a legal requirement, but can also be used as an instrument to secure investments in the long term.
