(i) GAR for lending activities to non-financial undertakings (loans and advances – GAR L&A)
Credit institutions shall use and disclose the following items for the calculation of the GAR for this type of exposures:
total loans and advances to non-financial undertakings, including loans and advances recognised under the accounting categories referred to in point 1.2 of this Annex, that is the gross carrying amount of:
loans and advances at amortised cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income;
loans and advances not held for trading at fair value through profit or loss.
loans and advances to non-financial undertakings financing Taxonomy-eligible economic activities for each environmental objective, including the gross carrying amount of loans and advances in the relevant accounting categories towards companies carrying out taxonomy-eligible economic activities (where available, 4 level Nomenclature of Economic Activities (NACE) codes) relevant for each environmental objective.
loans and advances to non-financial undertakings financing taxonomy-aligned economic activities for each environmental objective, including all loans and advances financing taxonomy-aligned economic activities, including subsets of transitional and enabling economic activities.
The amount for the purpose of (1)(c) shall be calculated by using the following formula 1(c) = (1)(c)(1) + (1)(c)(2) where:
For the purposes of point (1)(c)(1), credit institutions shall consider the gross carrying amount of the exposures where the use of proceeds is known, including specialised lending exposures, to the non-financial undertaking to the extent and proportion that they finance a Taxonomy-aligned economic activity. The assessment of whether that requirement has been met shall be based on information provided by the counterparty on the project or activities to which the proceeds will be applied. Credit institutions shall provide information on the type of economic activity that is financed. Double counting shall not be allowed. Where the same specialised lending exposure is relevant for two environmental objectives, credit institutions shall allocate it to the most relevant objective.
For the purposes of point (1)(c)(2), credit institutions shall rely on the CapEx and turnover KPI that the counterparty shall disclose for each environmental objective in accordance with this Regulation. The amount of loans and advances to non-financial undertakings shall be the sum of the gross carrying amount of the total loans and advances with unknown use of proceeds to non-financial undertakings weighted by the proportion of taxonomy-aligned economic activities with a breakdown for transition and enabling activities for each counterparty.
Credit institutions shall calculate the KPIs for those type of exposures as follows:
GAR L&A (for each environmental objective) = (1)(c)/(1)(a). Credit institutions shall disclose the GAR based on CapEx and turnover KPIs and separately the part of the KPI that refers to enabling and transitional activities, where relevant.
The following aspects of the KPIs shall be disclosed:
in terms of stock, based on the total gross carrying amount of loans and advances as of the disclosure reference date;
in terms of flow, based on the gross carrying amount of new loans and advances during the year prior to the disclosure reference date;
with a separate breakdown for enabling and for transitional and adaptation activities, and for specialised lending.
(ii) GAR for debt securities to non-financial undertakings (‘GAR DS’)
Credit institutions shall calculate and disclose the following items for the calculation of the GAR for this type of exposures:
Total debt securities of non-financial undertakings, including the gross carrying amount of debt securities at amortised cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income, and debt securities not held for trading at fair value through profit or loss;
Debt securities of non-financial undertakings financing Taxonomy-eligible economic activities for each environmental objective, including the gross carrying amount of debt securities in the relevant accounting categories towards companies carrying out taxonomy-eligible economic activities (where available 4 level NACE codes)
Debt securities to relevant entities financing taxonomy-aligned economic activities, including all debt securities financing taxonomy-aligned economic activities, including transitional and enabling activities.
The amount for the purposes of (2)(c) shall be calculated by using the following formula:
represents debt securities where the use of proceeds is known;
represents debt securities where the use of proceeds is not known.
For the purposes of point 2(c)(1), credit institutions shall consider the following:
For the purposes of point (2)(c)(2), credit institutions shall rely on the turnover KPI and CapEx KPI that the counterparty shall disclose in accordance with Article 2 of this Regulation. The amount of debt securities to non-financial undertakings shall be the sum of the gross carrying amount of the total debt securities with unknown use of proceeds weighted by the proportion of taxonomy-aligned economic activities with a breakdown for transition and enabling activities for each counterparty.
Credit institutions shall calculate the KPIs proposed according to the following formula for this type of exposures:
GAR DS = (2)(c)/(2)(a) based on turnover KPI; (2)(c)/(2)(a) based on CapEx KPI.
The following aspects of KPIs shall be disclosed:
in terms of stock, based on the total gross carrying amount of debt securities as of the disclosure reference date;
in terms of flow, based on the gross carrying amount of new debt securities during the year prior to the disclosure reference date;
with separate breakdown for enabling and transitional activities, and for specialised lending.
(iii) Green asset ratio for equity instruments of credit institutions in non-financial undertakings (‘GAR EH’)
Credit institutions shall calculate and disclose:
the proportion of equity instruments in non-financial undertakings performing taxonomy-eligible economic activities compared to total equity instruments in non-financial undertakings.
The numerator shall cover the gross carrying amount of the equity instruments not held for trading that comprise financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets not held for trading at fair value through profit or loss and investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates, of non-financial undertakings performing taxonomy-eligible economic activities.

the proportion of equity instruments in non-financial undertakings performing taxonomy-aligned economic activities compared to equity instruments in those non-financial undertakings performing taxonomy-eligible economic activities.
The numerator equals to the gross carrying amount of the equity instruments not held for trading based on the turnover KPI and CapEx KPI related to taxonomy-aligned economic activities of the non-financial undertaking to which the equity instruments belongs.
The denominator shall include the gross carrying amount of the equity instruments not held for trading based on the turnover KPI of the non-financial undertakings performing taxonomy-eligible economic activities.
GAR EH = Proportion of equity instruments in non-financial undertakings financing taxonomy-aligned economic activities compared to total equity instruments in non-financial undertakings.

This GAR shall contain disclosures for all the environmental objectives, with a breakdown for enabling activities. For the climate change mitigation, the GAR shall also contain disclosures of transitional activities. Credit institutions shall also provide disclosures of stock and flow.
For exposures where the use of proceeds is known, credit institutions shall consider, for the numerator of the GAR for financial undertakings, the gross carrying amount of loans and advances and debt securities of relevant accounting portfolios to financial undertakings to the extent and proportion in which those exposures finance Taxonomy-aligned economic activities. The assessment of whether that requirement has been met shall be based on information provided by the counterparty. Double counting shall not be allowed. Where the same exposure is relevant for two environmental objectives, credit institutions shall allocate it to the most relevant objective.
For exposures where the use of proceeds is not known, the numerator of the GAR for financial undertakings shall be calculated based on the counterparties’ KPIs calculated under this Regulation. The amount of loans and advances, debt securities and equity holdings of relevant accounting portfolios to financial undertakings to be considered in the numerator of the ratio shall be the sum of their gross carrying amount, weighted by the proportion of Taxonomy-aligned economic activities with breakdown for all the environmental objectives and enabling activities for each counterparty.

for investment firms dealing on own account in accordance with Section A of Annex I to Directive 2014/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council ( 7 ), the gross carrying amount of debt securities, loans and advances and equity instruments shall be weighted by the turnover based and CapEx based GAR disclosed by the investment firms, that is the gross carrying amount is multiplied by ‘the value of assets invested (debt securities, equity instruments, cash equivalents and derivatives) in taxonomy-aligned economic activities as a proportion of the value of total assets invested’.
for investment firms other than dealing on own account in accordance with Section A of Annex I to Directive 2014/65/EU, the gross carrying amount of debt securities, loans and advances and equity instruments shall be weighted by the turnover based and CapEx based KPI on revenues, that is fees, commissions and other monetary benefits, disclosed by the investment firms, that is gross carrying amount is multiplied by ‘fees, commissions and other monetary benefits from services and activities into taxonomy-aligned economic activities as a proportion of the total fees, commission income and other monetary benefits from all services and activities’.
Where the counterparty is asset manager, the turnover based and CapEx based KPIs shall be the gross carrying amount of debt securities, loans and advances and equity instruments weighted by the ratio of the counterparty’s investments that are in taxonomy-aligned economic activities, as specified in Annex III and IV to this Regulation, that is the gross carrying amount is multiplied by the asset manager’s ratio of total investments.
In the case of investees that are insurance or reinsurance undertakings, the benchmark shall be investments, gross premiums written or, as applicable, total insurance revenue, as resulting from the calculation either of the turnover-based and CapEx based investment KPI or of the underwriting KPI of the investee in accordance with Annexes XI and X to this Regulation.
