Excellent analysis on EU Taxonomy's market impact! I have been close attention to this myself... Your research reinforces what I've been arguing in my recent work—that ESG's evolution from compliance theater to strategic value creation is already happening. The "alignment premium" you identified perfectly demonstrates how operational sustainability metrics outperform abstract ESG scores. This shift toward taxonomy-based fundamentals aligns with my view that real ESG value comes from embedding environmental factors into core business models rather than checking regulatory boxes. Markets are clearly rewarding substance over disclosure theater. Thank you for this thoughtful presentation of the arguments.
Thank you Otto! Yes, the optimist in me lights up when I read that markets are actually working the way they should :) Evidently, investors are smart, and I'm very happy about that!
Outstanding, Ari...
