EU Taxonomy Mobile App for Sustainable Finance Compliance and Guidance

Developed to demystify and operationalize the EU Taxonomy Regulation, the app empowers users to understand, apply, and report on environmentally sustainable activities in alignment with EU law.
As the EU continues to strengthen its sustainable finance agenda, understanding and complying with the Taxonomy Regulation is increasingly critical for companies and financial market participants. This app serves as a reliable, interactive guide to help organizations ensure that their operations contribute to the EU’s environmental goals while preventing greenwashing and improving transparency.

Educate and Inform – Simplify the EU Taxonomy framework, including its six environmental objectives, for a broad audience through intuitive interfaces and plain-language explanations.
Guide Compliance – Help companies determine whether their activities are Taxonomy-eligible and Taxonomy-aligned, with structured steps and built-in compliance tips.
Support Reporting – Provide tools and templates to aid companies in meeting disclosure requirements under Article 8 of the Taxonomy Regulation, including financial KPI calculations.
Prevent Greenwashing – Promote credible sustainability claims by offering access to verified eligibility criteria and decision-making support based on EU screening standards.
Enable Sustainable Investment – Assist financial institutions and investors in identifying sustainable activities and portfolios that align with the EU’s green transition goals.
