EU Taxonomy Advisory Service
Ensure compliance and improve sustainability
The EU taxonomy is a key instrument for supporting the European Green Deal. It directs financial flows toward sustainable economic activities by requiring companies to disclose the sustainability of their business practices. Based on the current legal situation, all companies covered by the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) must publish their financial KPIs in accordance with the EU taxonomy as part of their sustainability statement in the management report.
DEKRA's EU Taxonomy Service offers companies comprehensive support in navigating this complex classification system. Our service breaks down the process into clear, actionable milestones and ensures that your company not only meets regulatory requirements, but also makes the most of opportunities for green financing and sustainable growth.
With the publication of the Omnibus Regulation in January 2026, the thresholds for EU taxonomy reporting requirements have been set in stone.
Companies with ≥ 1,000 employees and ≥ €450 million in net sales are required to report.
Companies below these thresholds are not required to report, but may do so on a voluntary basis.

The EU taxonomy is a classification system for identifying economic activities and investments that are considered "green" because they are consistent with the EU's six environmental objectives. As a central component of the EU's sustainable finance framework and closely linked to the CSRD, the EU taxonomy directs investment towards environmentally sustainable business models. In doing so, it supports the European Green Deal and contributes to achieving the EU's climate and energy targets for 2030 and the long-term goal of a climate-neutral Europe by 2050. The system promotes transparency and strengthens sustainable investment—a crucial step toward an environmentally friendly economy.
The EU Taxonomy Regulation uses the following six environmental objectives to determine when an economic activity is considered sustainable:
With DEKRA's expertise, companies can reliably comply with EU sustainability regulations, improve their access to green financing, and actively contribute to a more sustainable future. Compliance with the EU taxonomy has a direct impact on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) – violations can lead to sanctions. But the taxonomy is more than just a legal requirement: it also serves as a valuable tool for securing long-term investments.
