Taxonomy and sustainable finance
Updated: 28 January 2026. Objective: make low-carbon investment more transparent and less risky, by clarifying the criteria and transparency requirements for nuclear energy.
Why this matters
Low-carbon projects are capital-intensive. An unstable framework increases the cost of capital and delays decisions.
- Long-term visibility for investors.
- Comparability between low-carbon projects.
- Reduction of litigation and uncertainty.
What we propose
- Clear and stable criteria (without constant micro-adjustments).
- Transparency on safety, governance and waste management.
- Proportionate reporting to avoid unnecessary bureaucracy.
Points to watch
- Reputational risk: clarify definitions and controls.
- Coherence: avoid contradictory criteria between legislative texts.
- Timeline: limit retroactive changes.
Target outcome
A sustainable finance framework that effectively channels capital towards low-carbon projects, with transparency requirements that strengthen trust rather than undermine it.
