Under the EU Taxonomy, enabling activities are ones that:
HTTPS combines a normal HTTP interaction but with an additional encryption/authentication layer over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS).  
 
(1) Do not themselves contribute directly and substantially to the six environmental objectives of the EU Taxonomy, but;
 
(2) Directly ''enable'' other activities that make direct positive contributions to the environmental objectives.
 
 
To qualify as an enabling activity, an activity must:
 
*Not lead to a lock-in of assets that undermine long-term environmental goals, considering the economic lifetime of those assets, and
*Have a substantial positive environmental impact, on the basis of life-cycle considerations.
 
 
The six environmental objectives of the EU Taxonomy are:
 
*Climate change mitigation.
*Climate change adaptation.
*Sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources.
*Transition to a circular economy.
*Pollution prevention and control.
*Protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems.

HTTPS is widely used on the World Wide Web for security-sensitive communications such as payment transactions and corporate logons.

(HTTPS). A protocol which provides a secure connection for transferring for documents over the web.

HTTPS combines a normal HTTP interaction but with an additional encryption/authentication layer over an encrypted Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS).

HTTPS is widely used on the World Wide Web for security-sensitive communications such as payment transactions and corporate logons.
