Taxonomy

European Union Taxonomy: maximum eligibility

The Taxonomy of the European Union (EU) is an essential component of the EU’s policy aimed at decarbonizing the economy. It is a system for classifying businesses and company activities to determine whether they meet the EU’s environmental, social and governance criteria. This year it is mandatory to report on the eligibility of businesses and the environment component is the first step. Ferrovial reports that 89.3% and 84.8% of its businesses are eligible for the European taxonomy according to INCN and CAPEX, respectively.
