Request an accessible format.The Green Technical Advisory Group (GTAG) will provide independent, non-binding advice to the Government on developing and implementing a Green Taxonomy in the UK context.
By clearly defining which economic activities count as environmentally sustainable, the UK Green Taxonomy will clamp down on greenwashing - unsubstantiated or exaggerated claims that an investment is environmentally friendly - and make it easier to understand how a firm is impacting the environment.
GTAG will be chaired by the Green Finance Institute and made up of financial and business stakeholders, taxonomy and data experts, and subject matter experts drawn from academia, NGOs, the Environment Agency and the Committee on Climate Change.
