Implementing the EU taxonomy: Efficiently instead of incidentally!
19. Feb 2025
While the CSRD was already the focus of many companies last year, the EU taxonomy was often put on the back burner. The regulation is technically demanding, with detailed criteria and a complex classification of economic activities. However, anyone who is subject to CSRD cannot avoid dealing with the EU taxonomy.

What can you expect from the webinar?
Clear orientation: We clarify which requirements of the EU taxonomy are actually relevant for your company.
CSRD readiness: How to efficiently integrate the taxonomy into your CSRD project without losing track.
Smart roadmap: How our tool breaks down the complex requirements of the EU taxonomy and translates them into understandable action steps
Efficient process: How you can focus on the essentials during the process thanks to “instant feedback” directly in the tool.
