Data Sources
See where Tracenable’s EU Taxonomy data comes from. Learn which corporate disclosures, registries, and web sources we capture, and how every metric is fully traceable back to its origin.
Introduction
The reliability of EU Taxonomy data starts with the quality of its sources. At Tracenable, we collect information from a broad range of corporate and official channels, ensuring that every data point is traceable back to its origin. Our goal is simple: provide users with complete, transparent, and verifiable evidence of how companies disclose their EU Taxonomy performance.
Where We Collect Data
We capture EU Taxonomy disclosures wherever companies report them, across all common formats:
Corporate reports – Sustainability reports, annual reports, integrated reports, proxy statements.
Regulatory filings – Documents filed under mandatory disclosure regimes (e.g., CSRD or national registries).
Web disclosures – Corporate webpages, environmental policy pages, or dedicated sustainability microsites.
Data annexes and spreadsheets – Often attached to sustainability reports or published as standalone datasets.
Press releases and news articles – Only when originating directly from the company.
Government registries – Authoritative third-party repositories of company-submitted data.
No matter the format (PDF, HTML, Excel, or XML/XBRL) we normalize disclosures into a structured, machine-readable format without losing traceability to the original file.
End-to-End Traceability
Every data point in the EU Taxonomy dataset includes a direct link to its original source, allowing users to audit disclosures in context. Links open the exact report, page, or section cited. Metadata such as publication date and reporting period are also captured to preserve the full reporting trail.
This approach ensures transparency: users can always see what a company reported, when, and where.
Coverage Strategy
Tracenable’s EU Taxonomy dataset focuses on non-financial undertakings, in line with the regulation’s scope.
Mandatory reporters under CSRD: We cover all publicly listed companies in the EU that are required to report EU Taxonomy KPIs.
Voluntary reporters: We also capture companies outside mandatory scope that choose to disclose EU Taxonomy data.
Global reach: Coverage extends beyond the EU to include multinational groups that report on their EU operations or publish EU Taxonomy-aligned disclosures.
Our goal is to achieve the largest industry coverage of EU Taxonomy disclosures, ensuring users have access to the most complete dataset available.
