The goal of tilt.eu.taxonomy is to assess whether each product of the SME is eligible for the EU taxonomy regulation.
Installation
You can install the development version of tilt.eu.taxonomy from GitHub with:
# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("2DegreesInvesting/tilt.eu.taxonomy")Or
# install.packages("pak")
pak::pak("2DegreesInvesting/tilt.eu.taxonomy")Testing EU Taxonomy Eligibility
The products of each Europages company are matched with the Ecoinvent activities. To test whether Europages products are EU Taxonomy eligible, we will match the Ecoinvent activities of these products with the EU Taxonomy activities. The matching process determines whether the product is taxonomy-eligible or not. If the Ecoinvent activity matches a taxonomy activity, then it is classified as eligible. If the product does not match any taxonomy activity, then it is classified as not eligible.

Load Europages products matched with Ecoinvent activities
ep_companies_ei_activities is extracted from the dataframe profile_companies created by the Python class PCompanies in the tiltIndicatorBefore repository. It contains Europages companies and products matched with Ecoinvent activities (along with isic_4digit). We will select the product-level columns from the whole dataset.

EU Taxonomy Regulation sets out six climate and environmental objectives. The six objectives are Climate change mitigation, Climate change adaptation, Protection of water, Transition to a circular economy, Pollution Prevention, and Protection of biodiversity. Each objective outlines those activities which adhere to environmentally sustainable standards. They also outline the information regarding their contribution type, SCC alignment, and DNSH alignment. A subset of activities which follow each objective:

This prototype focuses on a small subset of 7 taxonomy activities which are shown below. Each taxonomy activity is assigned domain-specific keywords which are chosen manually and with the help of OpenAI’s ChatGPT model. They are used to improve the quality of the match between Ecoinevnt activities and EU Taxonomy activities by searching each keyword in the matched ecoinvent activity. Only those EU Taxonomy activities are selected as good matches which have at least one keyword present in the matched ecoinvent activity.

NACE codes are used to match Ecoinvent activities and EU Taxonomy activities. Both the tables eu_tax_activities_all_with_keywords and ecoinvent_activities_with_nace have the NACE codes. After matching Ecoinvent activities and EU Taxonomy activities, there is a one-to-many relationship between taxonomy activities and Ecoinvent activities respectively. This means that a single taxonomy activity is related to multiple ecoinvent activities.

#> # ℹ 243 more rowsKeywords search to validate match between Ecoinvent activities and EU Taxonomy activities
As there is a one-to-many relationship between taxonomy activities and Ecoinvent activities, there is a high chance that we might get bad matches between activities. Hence, taxonomy_keywords will be used to check whether ecoinvent activities are a closer match to the matched taxonomy activities or not. Each keyword is separated by a semicolon (;), and any value between consecutive semicolons will be matched with ecoinvent activity. If a single taxonomy keyword is present in the ecoinvent_activity_name column, the presence is stated with “TRUE” in the keyword_is_present column. And “FALSE” is stated if the keyword is not present.

The EU taxonomy provides a description column for each taxonomy activity which contains more information about them. Hence, we propose to use this additional information to validate whether the ecoinvent activities will be covered by the taxonomy activity description or not. ChatGPT is used to validate the same using Yes (covered well) and No (not covered well) for each matched ecoinvent_activity_name and tax_activity_description. We used OpenAI’s gpt-4-turbo model for validation with the following prompt:
"We have a dataframe with columns 'ecoinvent_activity_name' and
'taxonomy_activity_description'. Check row wise whether the ecoinvent activity
(column 'ecoinvent_activity_name') covered by the EU Taxonomy activity description
(column 'taxonomy_activity_description'). Please provide only one word answer
with `Yes` or `No` without any explaination, where `Yes` means covered well and
`No` means not covered well.

The Europages products which have “TRUE” in keyword_is_present column and “Yes” in gpt_validation column are considered EU Taxonomy-eligible because they are matched with EU Taxonomy activities (via ecoinvent activities) after ISIC-NACE mapping, keywords search, and ChatGPT validation. Here is a list of a small subset of EU Taxonomy-eligible Europages products:

#> # ℹ abbreviated name: ¹tax_activity_descriptionEU Taxonomy Indicator at company level
After identifying Europages products which are EU Taxonomy-eligible, we want to find out which Europages companies have taxonomy-eligible Europages products. This section loads company level columns and then joins them with matched ecoinvent activities after gpt validation. Lastly, final step filters the Europages companies which have taxonomy-eligible Europages products.
Load company-level columns from ep_companies_ei_activities dataset
