The Taxonomy Regulation establishes an EU-wide classification framework to provide businesses and investors with a common language to identify environmentally sustainable economic activities. Companies will be required to disclose their impact in the environment and increase transparency in how they mitigate it. On this episode, Josina Kamerling interviews Sirpa Pietikäinen, Member of the European Parliament and former Minister of the Environment in Finland and a strong advocate for the transition to Sustainable Finance. What are the challenges to implement the regulation, and can the Taxonomy remain a neutral scientific method that benefits both companies and retail investors?
