# Exporting Data

## Overview

As an **ESG Administrator**, you have the option of exporting data from your ESG reports in different formats depending on the report type:

- **ESRS/VSME reports**: Export aggregated data as a CSV file
- **EU Taxonomy reports**: Export aggregated data in Excel format using standardized EU Annex II templates

## Exporting ESRS or VSME Report Data

Once you as an ESG Administrator have approved all data of your ESRS or VSME report, you can download the report as a **CSV file**. This export includes all aggregated responses from your reporting entities.

- **Template I**: Summarized KPIs for Turnover, CapEx, and OpEx
- **Template II**: Detailed activity breakdowns for each KPI with environmental objectives

The exported Excel file is structured according to official EU regulations and is ready for import into **Lucanet Disclosure Management** for further processing and publication.

### Setup of the EU Taxonomy Export

The export of an EU Taxonomy report generates a single Excel file containing **four worksheets** based on the official EU Annex II templates:

The **Summary** worksheet, based on Template I, provides an overview of your organization's business activities that are aligned with the EU Taxonomy across all three key performance indicators **Turnover, CapEx, and OpEx** (see also [Collecting Financial Data](https://support.lucanet.cloud/en/documentation/esg-reporting/collect-data-esgrep/collect-eut-data/collect-financial-data.md)).

For each KPI, the template shows:

- **Total amounts** in your reporting currency
- Percentage of business activities that are **eligible for the EU Taxonomy**
- Percentage of business activities that are **aligned with the EU Taxonomy**
- Breakdown by the six environmental objectives, i.e., **Climate Change Mitigation**, **Climate Change Adaptation**, **Water**, **Circular Economy**, **Pollution Prevention**, **Biodiversity**
- Proportion of contribution types, i.e., **enabling** and **transitional** business activities

The **Turnover**, **CapEx**, and **OpEx** worksheets, based on Template II, each provide a detailed breakdown of individual business activities for the respective KPI:

- Business activity name and EU Taxonomy code
- Percentages of **taxonomy eligibility** and **taxonomy alignment**
- Contribution to each **environmental objective**
- Contribution type, i.e., **enabling** or **transitional** business activity
- Proportion of taxonomy-aligned business activities within taxonomy-eligible business activities
