EU Taxonomy Approval Process

The EU Taxonomy approval process is a service provided by BuildingMinds which ensures the authenticity and quality of EU Taxonomy assessments. Property Managers (or similar roles) initiate assessments, which are subsequently validated by Asset Managers (or similar roles). Here's a step-by-step description of the workflow:

Note

2. Submission for approval (Property Manager)

  • Click the submit button to prompt submission for approval.

  • A confirmation prompt appears, and upon confirmation, the form is submitted for approval, changing the status to: Pending approval.

  • Save and submit buttons are disabled after submission.

3. Tracking submission status

  • The approval status can be tracked inside the form or on the tile. The status remains: Not submitted until the form is submitted for approval.

5. Approving or rejecting assessments

  • Asset Managers approve or reject single or multiple items.

  • Upon approval or rejection, the status updates across views.

6. Handling Rejected Assessments

  • If an assessment is rejected with a valid reason, Asset Managers can leave a comment.

  • Property Managers can make relevant changes, save the form, and re-submit it for re-approval.
