Assessment Framework for Data Centres in the Context of Activity 8.1 in the Taxonomy Climate Delegated Act

The Assessment Framework is based on The European Code of Conduct for Energy Efficiency in Data Centres. This document compliments the CoC Best Practices Document by making the Practices more requirement based rather than recommendations. The Assessment Framework therefore provides auditors with the necessary tools to verify whether a data centre correctly applies the Practices contained within the Code of Conduct. Thus, it allows market players to correctly complete their disclosures for Taxonomy alignment as part of their non-financial reporting without any ambiguity.
