Understanding the EU Taxonomy

Sep 6

4 min read

The European Union’s Taxonomy Regulation is transforming how businesses, investors, and developers approach sustainability. With climate change at the forefront of global priorities, this framework provides a clear definition of what qualifies as an environmentally sustainable activity. At MosArt, where sustainability is the foundation of everything we do, the EU Taxonomy not only aligns with our mission but also makes us the ideal partner for those looking to develop truly green, future-proofed projects.


What is the EU Taxonomy?


The EU Taxonomy is part of the European Green Deal and aims to make Europe climate-neutral by 2050. It provides a comprehensive classification system, helping identify economic activities that contribute meaningfully to key environmental objectives.


These include:

  1. Climate change mitigation

  2. Climate change adaptation

  3. Sustainable use of water and marine resources

  4. Transition to a circular economy

  5. Pollution prevention and control

  6. Protection of biodiversity and ecosystems


To meet the EU Taxonomy criteria, a project or activity must comply with stringent technical standards, ensuring it significantly contributes to one or more of these objectives without harming the others.


The Benefits of Partnering with MosArt


As the EU Taxonomy reshapes the landscape of sustainable development, partnering with MosArt ensures that your project is not only compliant with these new standards but also ahead of the curve. Here’s why working with us is beneficial:


1. Proven Sustainability Expertise

With over 30 years of experience in sustainable architecture and Passive House design, MosArt has been leading the way in low-carbon, high-performance buildings long before it became a regulatory requirement. Our expertise ensures that your project will meet the strict environmental performance metrics outlined by the EU Taxonomy. Whether it’s designing Zero-Emission Buildings or achieving Passive House certification, we have the knowledge and experience to deliver results.


2. Attracting Green Investment

One of the key aspects of the EU Taxonomy is its role in facilitating access to green finance. Investors and financial institutions are increasingly looking for projects that meet the high sustainability standards set by the Taxonomy. By working with MosArt, your project will align with these standards, making it more attractive to green investors. Whether you’re a developer, a business, or an architect, this alignment opens up significant funding opportunities, ensuring your project has the financial backing it needs to succeed.


3. Future-Proofing Your Development

Sustainability is not just about meeting today’s regulations—it’s about anticipating future challenges. The EU Taxonomy is designed with long-term environmental goals in mind, and projects that meet these standards will be more resilient to future regulatory changes. By partnering with MosArt, you can be confident that your project will not only comply with current standards but will also be future-proofed for upcoming environmental regulations, protecting your investment for years to come.


4. Comprehensive Approach to Sustainability

The EU Taxonomy takes a holistic view of sustainability, addressing both operational energy and embodied carbon. This means that it’s not just about reducing energy use during the building’s operation but also minimising the carbon footprint of the construction process itself. MosArt’s approach to design and construction embraces this comprehensive outlook, ensuring that both the operational and embodied carbon aspects of your project are optimised. From sourcing sustainable materials to employing energy-efficient construction methods, we ensure that every phase of your development is as green as possible.


5. Access to Cutting-Edge Knowledge and Tools

At MosArt, we stay at the forefront of sustainable building practices, including the latest advancements in energy modelling, building physics, and post-occupancy evaluations. This ensures that your project benefits from the most up-to-date tools and techniques in achieving energy efficiency and environmental performance. Our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation means that when you work with us, you’re accessing the best practices the industry has to offer.


6. Enhanced Credibility and Market Positioning

As sustainability becomes a key differentiator in the market, partnering with a company that is aligned with the EU Taxonomy can enhance your project’s credibility. Working with MosArt, a leader in Passive House and sustainable design, demonstrates your commitment to environmental responsibility, helping you stand out in a competitive marketplace. Your project will not only meet regulatory requirements but also gain recognition as a model for responsible, future-focused development.

The EU Taxonomy is more than just a set of rules—it’s a blueprint for how we can create a more sustainable, resilient built environment. At MosArt, we understand the intricacies of this framework and have the expertise to help your project succeed in this new era of sustainable construction.
