Following the recent launch of the Belgian EU Taxonomy guidance for buildings by Belgian Green Building Council, we are now seeing the next step unfold at EU level.
The European Commission is currently consulting on updates to the EU Taxonomy for Sustainable Activities, aiming to simplify and refine the technical screening criteria.
BGBC has actively contributed to this process with detailed, point-by-point feedback, based on real-life implementation experience from the Belgian market.
Our message is simple:
If the Taxonomy is to drive real impact, it must be:
👉 clear
👉 workable on the ground
👉 and aligned with how projects are actually developed, financed, and delivered
This feedback brings forward insights from across the value chain — developers, designers, investors, and technical experts — all working with the framework in practice, not in theory.
👉 Our full feedback can be read here for those interested.
The work doesn’t stop here.
Once the European Commission finalises the updated Delegated Act, BGBC will ensure these evolutions are reflected in the Belgian guidance — keeping it aligned, relevant, and ready for the market to use.
