Sustainability - social concerns - European Union - European Commission.

The EU's Social Taxonomy is a tool to help investors, companies, issuers and project promoters define social investments on a consistent basis.


It consists of three overarching objectives:

  • Decent work, including for value-chain workers.
  • Adequate living standards and wellbeing for end-users.
  • Inclusive and sustainable communities and societies.


Social taxonomy recommendations shelved indefinitely
"The EU’s [International] Platform on Sustainable Finance recommendations for the development of a social taxonomy to promote sustainable investment in Europe, putting the focus on the protection of human rights and on the social impact on the main stakeholder groups of businesses: employees, customers and communities, has been shelved indefinitely due to difficulties in agreeing on a conceptual framework and measurement system that would work at both the EU and global level."
