Mapping details
BRE is committed to the EU Taxonomy
As detailed below, BRE is committed to working with the EU Taxonomy. This document is the cornerstone of that commitment, and we will build on this. BREEAM will always remain impartial, being informed by rather than completely linked to any one methodology. Our development roadmap is naturally aligned with much of the EU Taxonomy criteria. From our customer and stakeholder engagement work, we are hearing requests for greater alignment with the EU Taxonomy. We are pleased to announce that BREEAM will be doing exactly this, increasing alignment with the EU Taxonomy. In addition, we are involved with its development and are committed to realising opportunities as the EU Taxonomy evolves.
BRE has updated the mapping for New Construction and In-Useschemes based on the latest information on Annexes 1 & 2 published by European Commission. We are working our way through the remaining schemes in the Guide and they will be updated in due course.
BREEAM is committed to working with the Taxonomy to facilitate our customer’s journey towards comprehensive disclosure requirement reporting. The charts show the substantial level of alignment between our products and the technical screening criteria as they exist today.

Conclusion
BREEAM helps you demonstrate where your assets meet the EU Taxonomy screening criteria. Whilst this varies per scheme and the proportion s of this overall, your BREEAM assessment gives you a head start on your EU Taxonomy reporting.
We are committed to keep building on this, reviewing our suite of BREEAM schemes on remaining Annexes in order to provide as much compatibility with the taxonomy as our science will allow. We will endeavour to share our mapping and to increase our alignment in BREEAM while maintaining the impartiality of our assessment criteria, integrated and contributing to the EU Taxonomy as part of our commitment to our customers and to delivering a credible, holistically sustainable built environment.
