Project overview
The Sustainable Taxonomy Mapper is a pan-European digital platform designed to bring together climate policies and green taxonomies from participating nations into a single, accessible system. Launched for presentation at COP30, the platform enables investors, institutions and policy stakeholders to make informed decisions about sustainable investment opportunities across Europe.
This was a high-profile, time-critical project with international visibility, and it was our pleasure to be trusted with the technical delivery of such a prestigious initiative.
The brief
The project required the creation of a robust, scalable platform that could:
- Aggregate climate policy and green taxonomy data from multiple European nations
- Normalise and structure policy data to allow meaningful comparison between countries
- Provide a clear, intuitive interface for investors and stakeholders
- Be fully operational in time for launch and presentation at COP30
- Encourage engagement through registrations and data submissions following the event
The platform needed to balance regulatory complexity with usability, ensuring clarity for both specialist and non-specialist audiences.
The challenge
Each participating country approached climate policy and sustainability frameworks differently, creating significant technical and structural challenges around:
- Data inconsistency across jurisdictions
- Varying terminology and classification systems
- Policy updates and version control
- Tight, immovable deadlines aligned to COP30
In addition, the platform needed to be future-proof -capable of scaling as more countries, taxonomies and policy updates were added over time.
Our approach
We designed and delivered the platform using Laravel as the core application framework, with Statamic implemented to accelerate the CMS layer and simplify content management for non-technical users.
Discovery & data modelling
We worked closely with project stakeholders and policy specialists to map out all taxonomy structures, policy datasets, and country-specific variations. A flexible data model was created to allow meaningful comparison while preserving national nuances.
CMS & content architecture
Statamic was used to fast-track editorial control and structured content management. This allowed policy data, country profiles and explanatory content to be updated quickly and securely without developer input.
Platform development
Laravel powered the application logic, data processing and user interaction layer. The system was built for long-term scalability, ensuring additional countries and policies could be integrated without re-engineering the platform.
User Experience design
The interface was designed to present complex regulatory and policy information in a clear, readable and searchable format. Filtering and comparison tools were developed to help users quickly assess countries aligned with green investment criteria.
Quality assurance & launch preparation
The platform underwent structured testing to validate data accuracy, system stability and performance ahead of the COP30 showcase.
The outcome
The platform now acts as a digital gateway supporting responsible, policy-aligned green investment across participating nations.
Production-ready platform
A fully operational, production-ready platform delivered in time for presentation at COP30
Strong early engagement and global stakeholder participation
Successful early-stage engagement following the launch, with registrations and submissions generated from global stakeholders
Transparent hub for comparing climate policies and taxonomies
A centralised, transparent system for comparing national climate policies and green taxonomies across Europe
Dynamic framework for future expansion
A scalable foundation capable of supporting future policy updates, new participant countries, and ongoing investor use
Our role
We delivered the full technical build of the Sustainable Taxonomy Mapper, including:
- Application architecture in Laravel
- CMS implementation using Statamic
- Data modelling and policy structure normalisation
- Front-end user experience and interface development
- Platform testing, optimisation and deployment
Throughout the project, we worked in close partnership with policy stakeholders and subject-matter specialists to ensure technical accuracy, regulatory clarity and a high-quality user experience.
Summary
The Sustainable Taxonomy Mapper is a powerful demonstration of how digital platforms can support international sustainability goals through structured data, transparency and accessibility. Delivering a platform of this scale, complexity and visibility to a fixed global deadline was both a challenge and a privilege, and we are proud to have contributed to a project that continues to support informed, sustainable investment across the globe.
