BST INT #12: EU Taxonomy for Dummies (ESG series)

In our latest episode of BusySeasonTalks, Lotte and Ciaran take a closer look at one of the more complex frameworks within sustainable finance: the EU Taxonomy. Together with experts Alaina Porter and Gijs de Graaff from KPMG, we explore what the EU Taxonomy is, why it matters, and how it connects financial reporting with sustainability performance. From car tyres and noise pollution to CAPEX, OPEX, and turnover disclosures, it’s all part of the broader effort to bring transparency and integrity to sustainable business practices. If you're working with CSRD, ESG reporting, or sustainability assurance, this episode offers clear explanations, thoughtful reflections, and practical examples on how companies can get started—and what challenges to expect along the way. And a brief disclaimer: This episodewas recorded before the release of the draft Omnibus proposal by the European Commission in late February 2025. The conversation in this podcast therefore is before the draft was available. The scope and timing of reporting and assurance will be impacted by the Omnibus. The message of the podcast otherwise remains valid. 📲 Follow us on: • LinkedIn 👉 Comments or feedback?
