Financing

The EU Taxonomy is a classification system that defines environmentally sustainable economic activities. Potential for financial benefits: ​

​

• Lower interest rates on Green Loans and Bonds​

• Companies aligning with the Taxonomy can qualify for green financing options, such as sustainability-linked loans or green bonds, which often come with lower interest rates due to reduced risk perception and investor demand for sustainable investments.​

• Lenders view compliant businesses as less risky and future-proof, making them eligible for better credit terms.​

• Access to a growing green investment market​

• Investors increasingly prioritize Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors. Being Taxonomy-aligned attracts sustainable investments, improving capital inflow.​

• Risk mitigation and regulatory readiness​

• Taxonomy compliance helps businesses avoid potential penalties and future regulatory costs, safeguarding them from climate-related financial risks.

The CSRD mandates companies to disclose detailed sustainability information. Potential for financial benefits: ​

​

• Easier access to capital​

• Transparent sustainability reporting under CSRD will build trust with investors and bankers, enabling access to funding opportunities.​

• Companies demonstrating strong ESG performance may secure better credit ratings, reducing borrowing costs.​

• Cost savings through efficiency and innovation​

• Reporting requirements encourage businesses to improve energy efficiency, reduce waste, and adopt sustainable practices—lowering operating costs in the long term.​

• Competitive advantage and market positioning​

• Early compliance can position companies as leaders in sustainability, helping attract customers, partners, and investors who prioritize ESG performance.​

• Your clients are also subject to CSRD and their procurement teams will pressure the supply chain to share detailed information on sustainability plans​

• Reduced legal and regulatory risks​

• Proactive compliance with CSRD reduces the risk of fines and other regulatory actions, protecting the bottom line.
