Taxonomy Green: the foundations of european environmental

5 June is celebrated the World Environment Day. A specified date, which aims to bring to fore the protection and care of the environment as the purpose and common destiny international.

In this sense, the European Union has implemented what is known as the “taxonomy european green”, that is, a system of classification based on parameters that determine, in the face of investors and companies, which projects may or may not adversely affect the climate and the environment. The situation is serious and urgent climate, a fact which we must deal in a coordinated and joint. The emissions of greenhouse gases and the excessive consumption of energy have led to the promulgation of a regulation based on six environmental objectives, collected in the Regulation of Taxonomy, with which to align the activities of the business sector.

  1. Climate change mitigation
  2. Adaptation to climate change
  3. Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources
  4. Transition towards a circular economy
  5. Prevention and control of pollution
  6. Protection and recovery of biodiversity and ecosystems

Also, it is important to emphasize that these goals are not understood as isolated issues, but they share space and generate synergies with the famous ODS.

The environment is defined as the “set of circumstances or conditions external to a living being that influence its development and in its activities”. And is that within that set of circumstances converge diversity of factors and actors involved.

As the objectives of the taxonomy are linked with the SDGS, these are the strategies of EGS companies. A pairing that makes clear the necessity of putting into practice, not only with the measures being taken by organizations in the field of sustainability of its activity, but also their involvement in social areas specific to generate benefits, as well as a positive impact.
