Data Dimensions & Metrics

Discover how Tracenable’s dimensional model structures EU Taxonomy data into metrics measuring eligibility and alignment of KPIs: turnover, CAPEX, OPEX.

How Dimensions and Metrics Work

Tracenable datasets follow a dimensional model.

• Dimensions are the attributes you can use to analyze or slice the data. Each dataset is defined by one or more dimensions.

• Metrics are the most granular layer: each one represents a unique combination of dimension values that defines a specific data point.

This dimensional model provides a transparent and predictable way to structure data. It removes ambiguity in naming, ensures consistency across datasets, and makes it easier to understand how each metric is constructed.

Dimensions in EU Taxonomy Data

The EU Taxonomy data is organized along three core dimensions. These dimensions define how EU Taxonomy data is categorized and reported, and every metric in the dataset is derived from their combinations.

• Level - Identifies whether the disclosure applies to the company’s total business or is broken down by specific economic activities.

  • Total

  • Activities

• KPI - Represents the key performance indicators (KPIs) required by the EU Taxonomy, used to quantify how a company’s business activities align with sustainability criteria.

  • Turnover

  • CAPEX

  • OPEX

• Eligibility Category or Screening Criteria - Defines the sustainability classification of economic activities under the EU Taxonomy.

  • Aligned

  • Eligible

  • Denominator

Metrics in the EU Taxonomy Dataset

EU Taxonomy metrics are derived by combining the three dimensions: Level, KPI, and Eligibility Category / Screening Criteria. Each metric represents a standardized data point that shows how a company’s activities align with the regulation.

Level	KPI	Eligibility Category / Screening Criteria	Metric
Total	Turnover	Aligned	Total Taxonomy-Aligned Turnover
Total	Turnover	Eligible	Total Taxonomy-Eligible Turnover
Total	Turnover	Denominator	Total Turnover (Denominator)
Total	CAPEX	Aligned	Total Taxonomy-Aligned CAPEX
Total	CAPEX	Eligible	Total Taxonomy-Eligible CAPEX
Total	CAPEX	Denominator	Total CAPEX (Denominator)
Total	OPEX	Aligned	Total Taxonomy-Aligned OPEX
Total	OPEX	Eligible	Total Taxonomy-Eligible OPEX
Total	OPEX	Denominator	Total OPEX (Denominator)
Activities	Turnover	Aligned	Activity-level Taxonomy-Aligned Turnover
Activities	Turnover	Eligible	Activity-level Taxonomy-Eligible Turnover
Activities	CAPEX	Aligned	Activity-level Taxonomy-Aligned CAPEX
Activities	CAPEX	Eligible	Activity-level Taxonomy-Eligible CAPEX
Activities	OPEX	Aligned	Activity-level Taxonomy-Aligned OPEX
Activities	OPEX	Eligible	Activity-level Taxonomy-Eligible OPEX
