What it asks for, in the Parliament's words

• Calls on the Commission to commit to developing such standards during the upcoming NFRD review; considers that these standards should not pose an undue burden on SMEs
• Underlines the importance of the new taxonomy regulation and its significance for supply chains; stresses that tackling tax avoidance is a fundamental part of sustainable corporate governance
• Considers that the EU framework should help and assist companies, in particular SMEs, by ensuring that disclosures are clear, balanced, understandable and comparable among companies within a sector
