EU Taxonomy · Regulation 2020/852 · Evidence & Implementation Kit
Report against the EU Taxonomy, without decoding substantial contribution and DNSH yourself.
Every Taxonomy requirement handed to you as an adopt-ready control, from the six environmental objectives and substantial contribution through do no significant harm and minimum safeguards to the eligibility, alignment and Article 8 disclosure, with the evidence an auditor examines.
Reporting-ready in a weekend, not a quarter.
Here is the honest situation. The EU Taxonomy sets the common language for what counts as environmentally sustainable, and undertakings under the CSRD and financial market participants must report against it. An activity is aligned only if it substantially contributes to one of the six environmental objectives, does no significant harm to the others, meets the minimum safeguards, and satisfies the technical screening criteria. You then report the taxonomy-aligned share of turnover, CapEx and OpEx, and financial undertakings the green asset ratio, through the Article 8 templates. Building that assessment and evidencing it is real work, and an undertaking that reports eligibility as if it were alignment or skips the DNSH is exactly where undertakings fall short.
This Kit removes that build. It is every Taxonomy requirement written as an adopt-ready control you personalize in a weekend, with the evidence an auditor examines.

Eligibility is not alignment, and DNSH is where it is decided
A common failure is reporting an activity as taxonomy-aligned when it is only eligible. Alignment needs substantial contribution, do no significant harm to every other objective, and the minimum safeguards. DNSH is where most activities fall out. This Kit builds the eligibility, alignment and DNSH controls with the evidence an auditor asks for.
What one control looks like
This is scope and the six environmental objectives, where Taxonomy reporting begins. All 34 are built to this depth.
TAXO-1 Determine applicability across in scope undertakings SIX OBJECTIVES
Put this control in place
Require [the responsible sustainability reporting owner] to determine and document whether the undertaking is a non financial undertaking, a financial undertaking, or a financial market participant subject to the Taxonomy Regulation, recording the legal basis under the Accounting Directive and the sustainability reporting rules, the applicable first reporting year, and the phase in provisions that govern which key performance indicators must be disclosed in each period.
Regulatory note.
Scope is set by the Accounting Directive population as extended by the sustainability reporting rules.
Evidence an auditor examines
- Scope determination memorandum citing the relevant reporting thresholds
- Register of group entities with their reporting classification
- Board or committee minutes approving the scoping conclusion
- Legal analysis of the applicable first reporting year and phase in dates
Common finding they raise: Undertakings often misclassify themselves and apply the wrong key performance indicator set for their category.
Why this is not another template pack
- The evidence is the point. A KPI you cannot evidence fails assurance. This tells you what an auditor examines and where undertakings fall short, for every requirement.
- Substantial contribution, DNSH and KPIs built in. The substantial contribution criteria, the DNSH assessment, the minimum safeguards and the turnover, CapEx, OpEx and green asset ratio KPIs are written into the controls.
- Built on a mapped compliance corpus, not one person's opinion, from a graph of thousands of controls across standards.
- It compounds. The Taxonomy underpins the SFDR and CSRD disclosures, so this work feeds your wider sustainability reporting program.
Who buys this
Undertakings under the CSRD, financial market participants, and the sustainability, finance and reporting leads who own Taxonomy reporting. Whether it is a first report or an annual cycle, you save weeks and walk in with the alignment assessment and KPIs structured.
By the end of the weekend you will have
✓ An adopt-ready control for all 34 requirements
✓ A completed Taxonomy control matrix
✓ The evidence an auditor examines
✓ Your alignment assessment and KPIs anchored
✓ A readiness percentage and a fix list
✓ The eligibility-vs-alignment gaps closed
Common questions
Is it really editable? Yes. Word and Excel files you own and adapt. No portal, no subscription.
Does it cover the KPIs? Yes. The turnover, CapEx and OpEx KPIs and the financial-undertaking green asset ratio are built as controls, with the Article 8 templates.
Does it cover do no significant harm? Yes. The DNSH assessment against each of the six objectives is its own control group, because it is where alignment is decided.
Does it cover minimum safeguards? Yes. Alignment with the OECD Guidelines, the UN Guiding Principles and the ILO conventions is built as controls.
