It helps the EU and its member countries make informed decisions on improving the environment, integrating environmental considerations into economic policies. The EEA brings an independent science based environmental perspective with involvement in policy processes such as the taxonomy, the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation and the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive.
