DNSH principle

It stands for Do not Significant Harm. It is a requirement under the EU Taxonomy that ensures economic activities do not negatively affect other environmental or social objectives. In CSRD and ESRS reporting, companies must assess whether actions taken to support one sustainability goal - such as climate mitigation - avoid causing harm to areas like biodiversity, water resources, or human rights.
