Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The "do no significant harm" (DNSH) principle is explicitly one of the EU Taxonomy’s key conditions for an activity to be labelled environmentally sustainable.

1. Relevant knowledge points and concepts
- EU Taxonomy Regulation sets conditions for when an economic activity qualifies as environmentally sustainable. The main requirements are: (a) it must make a substantial contribution to at least one of the six environmental objectives (climate change mitigation; climate change adaptation; sustainable use and protection of water and marine resources; transition to a circular economy; pollution prevention and control; protection and restoration of biodiversity and ecosystems), (b) it must do no significant harm (DNSH) to any of the other objectives, and (c) it must respect minimum safeguards (human rights and governance standards) and meet technical screening criteria.

2. Step-by-step reasoning
- Compare each option to the Taxonomy requirements:
  - Option: "doing no significant harm" — matches requirement (b) above.
  - Option: "complying with the highest social and governance standards" — Taxonomy requires minimum safeguards (OECD Guidelines, UN Guiding Principles), not a vague “highest” standard.
  - Option: "contributing substantially to at least three environmental objectives" — Taxonomy requires substantial contribution to at least one objective, not necessarily three.

3. Intermediate logical steps
- Identify the three core Taxonomy pillars (substantial contribution, DNSH, minimum safeguards).
- Map each answer option to those pillars: DNSH = exact match; “highest standards” ≠ minimum safeguards; “at least three” ≠ “at least one.”

4. Why the correct answer is correct
- DNSH is explicitly written into the EU Taxonomy (Article 3 and related technical screening criteria). Even if an activity contributes substantially to one objective, it will only be taxonomy-aligned if it does not significantly harm any other objective, hence DNSH is a required condition.

5. Why the other options are incorrect
- “Complying with the highest social and governance standards”: incorrect because the Taxonomy requires adherence to minimum safeguards, not an undefined “highest” standard.
- “Contributing substantially to at least three environmental objectives”: incorrect because the rule is substantial contribution to at least one objective, not three.

6. Conclusion
The correct answer is "doing no significant harm" to any of the environmental objectives, which matches the provided answer.
