# Introduction

## Overview

Tracenable’s EU Taxonomy Dataset delivers structured, standardized, and traceable data on how companies report under the EU’s sustainable finance regulation. Covering over 1,800 companies across industries, the dataset translates complex corporate disclosures into a consistent, comparable format. 

The dataset captures both activity-level and company-level reporting, organized across three dimensions: Level, KPI, and Eligibility Category. It provides metrics for turnover, CAPEX, and OPEX, classified by taxonomy eligibility and alignment with the EU’s six environmental objectives.

This structure enables reliable benchmarking, supports regulatory compliance, and allows users to track corporate progress toward the EU’s environmental goals.
