European Union officials working on the bloc’s proposed green taxonomy have put forward plans to expand it beyond climate change.
Two documents, published earlier this week, have proposed extending the taxonomy to include classifications for companies contributing to other environmental goals.
This includes subjects linked to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular biodiversity (SDG 15), water and marine life (SDG 6/14), waste management and pollution prevention (SDG 6/12), and the ‘circular economy’ (SDG 12).
The EU’s team of expert advisors has published its recommendations for expanding the green taxonomy beyond climate change.
