Achieving EU Taxonomy Alignment in Real Estate

## Starting the Assessment

"With a portfolio of 200+ properties across Europe, the initial assessment was daunting. We developed a standardised methodology and prioritised assets by value and improvement potential."

Data Challenges

"Energy performance data was our biggest gap. We had EPC certificates for most assets, but the detailed technical data needed for Taxonomy assessment was often missing. We've invested heavily in building better data systems."

Improvement Strategies

"Where assets don't currently meet Taxonomy thresholds, we've developed improvement roadmaps. Simple measures like LED lighting upgrades can make a meaningful difference, while larger refurbishments are planned around natural investment cycles."

Market Implications

"We're already seeing Taxonomy alignment affect asset valuations and financing terms. Green finance is increasingly linked to Taxonomy metrics. This is driving real investment in building performance."
