What is the EU Taxonomy? 🤔 As the European Union targets net zero by 2050, the Taxonomy helps businesses, investors, and policymakers align their efforts with sustainability goals. 📊 So, what does it really mean for your organization? 💡 The Taxonomy is a classification system that defines which economic activities are genuinely sustainable, reducing the risk of greenwashing. It outlines six environmental objectives, including climate change mitigation & adaptation, sustainable use of water resources, pollution prevention, biodiversity protection, and circular economy transition. 🔍 For investors and financial institutions, this means clear guidance on where to direct funds—helping them contribute to the green transition while avoiding misleading claims. 🌱 By creating transparency and promoting accountability, the Taxonomy enables businesses to better assess their sustainability efforts and adjust their strategies accordingly.

The European Commission has approved a €500 million French scheme designed to support chemical recycling of plastic waste. 🌍 This initiative will contribute significantly to the European Union’s goal of fostering a circular and resilient economy. France’s plan focuses on investing in the chemical recycling of specific types of plastic waste, including trays, films, non-beverage bottles, and textiles with polyester content. This technology aims to convert mixed or contaminated plastics back into raw materials, effectively reducing waste and promoting climate neutrality across industries. The program will provide grants of up to 40% of eligible investment costs, encouraging companies of all sizes to adopt chemical recycling technologies. This approval marks a significant moment in the shift toward sustainability, paving the way for similar initiatives across Europe.

We’ve only gotten through January and a lot has already happened this year! The first month of 2025 is almost over, so here is a quick recap of five important things that happened in sustainability this month: 1️⃣ Devastating wildfires in Southern California caused at least 28 deaths and destroyed over 16,000 structures. 2️⃣ Major sustainability reporting requirements went into effect globally. The European Union launched its Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive, or CSRD, and Australia introduced mandatory climate reporting this month. 3️⃣ Thailand implemented a ban on plastic waste imports, showing their willingness to tackle plastic pollution. 4️⃣ In a controversial decision, the United States withdrew from the Paris Agreement for the second time under the Trump administration. However, Mike Bloomberg’s philanthropy stepped up to help cover the funding gap left by the U.S.’s withdrawal. 5️⃣ The World Economic Forum held its annual summit in Davos, where global leaders discussed pressing environmental and economic challenges. The theme of this year was  “Collaboration for the Intelligent Age,” so much of the conversation was centered around Al.
