DNSH ("Do No Significant Harm")

EU Taxonomy principle: an activity must not significantly harm the other environmental objectives.

The DNSH principle ("Do No Significant Harm") is a core element of the EU Taxonomy. An economic activity qualifies as sustainable only if it does not significantly harm the other five environmental objectives.

Each activity has specific DNSH criteria and thresholds that must be backed with evidence and documentation.
