BREEAM and EU Taxonomy mapping
We are presenting our mapping in three ways to meet the range of interests, perspectives and detail requested from customers and stakeholders.
Firstly, an overall mapping which looks at both the Substantial Contribution and Do No Significant Harm criteria. Secondly, focusing on the Do No Significant Harm criteria graphically and thirdly, showing the details.
In this detail we show the screening criteria that are well aligned to the EU Taxonomy, so that BREEAM customers looking to report on the EU Taxonomy have a practical tool to help streamline that process.
Our mapping
Our Mapping is a useful analysis showing the existing alignment across the current BREEAM schemes (International New Construction v6, International Refurbishment and Fitout 2014 and BREEAM in Use v6 (Residential and Commercial), to understand better where there is potential for future alignment,
or where the Taxonomy definitions aren’t currently seen as a fit. Criteria were scored and rated on their alignment in all categories and then aggregated to create the following overview.
Overall Findings including both the Do No Significant Harm and Substantial Contributions elements
