Moody's analysis produces both a consolidated view of a company’s overall alignment with the EU Taxonomy, and a breakdown of its alignment activity by activity. The output for each activity the company is engaged in is expressed as a percentage of turnover/CAPEX/OPEX for easy comparison.

• It covers whether an activity makes a Substantial Contribution to one of the Taxonomy’s environmental objectives, such as Climate Change Mitigation
• Ensuring that it meets with the requirements falling under Do No Significant Harm (e.g that the pursuit of that one activity does not significantly harm any of the others, such as protecting our ecosystems);
• And that it is aligned with the Minimum Social Safeguards (e.g that it respects widely accepted environmental conventions and principles, like those established by the UN and OECD).
• All data is referenced to its source with clear definitions and methodologies made accessible to users
