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 (New Construction, Refurbishment and Fit-Out and In-Use V6.0), 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
The % figures for New Construction are applicable to buildings larger than 5000 sq m.
The % figures for In-Use are relevant to International and USA schemes and are applicable to buildings built before 31 Dec 2020.
