| Criterion | Evidence | Status | Action |
|---|---|---|---|
| Energy performance | Energy certificate | Evidence available | None |
| Climate risk | Risk assessment | Evidence missing | Commission assessment |
| DNSH — water | Fixture data | Review required | Check specifications |
| DNSH — pollution | Material records | Action required | Collect evidence |
Illustrative example — demonstration data, not based on a specific building.
These results are indicative only and cover only part of the criteria considered in a full assessment. They do not constitute a complete assessment, certification or confirmation of compliance.
01 — What is it?
What is the EU Taxonomy?
The EU Taxonomy is a European classification system that defines when an economic activity, including owning, building or renovating property, can be described as environmentally sustainable. For buildings, it sets out specific criteria on energy performance, climate risk, water, materials and other topics.
An assessment checks a building against these criteria, identifies what evidence already exists, what is missing, and what would need to change for the building to be considered aligned. It is increasingly requested by investors, funds and lenders that report under European sustainability rules.
02 — Why does it matter?

- 04
Highlights actions that can move an asset toward alignment.
- 05
Complements ESG due diligence and climate risk assessment.
03 — When is it used?

- Fund and portfolio Taxonomy reporting.
- Acquisitions where alignment affects value or eligibility.
- Renovation projects targeting alignment.
- ESG due diligence and portfolio reviews.
