European Commission publishes Steer Report on sustainable finance taxonomy for the aviation sector.pdf (pdf 600.76 KB)

In June 2020, we published a briefing in which we examined the recent developments in ESG financing within the aviation sector, as well as the potential impact of Covid-19 as a catalyst for growth in this area.[1] One of the key challenges identified was that ESG financings in the aviation sector would need to overcome accusations of "greenwashing" given that aviation has traditionally been viewed as a polluting industry.

Download our briefing as we consider the findings of the Steer Report and in particular its proposals for developing the technical screening criteria for aviation-related activities to be included in the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
