Investors, asset managers, and banks are pivotal in driving the transition to a decarbonised world. The PCAF Standard supports these institutions by providing a framework to assess and disclose financed emissions, thereby improving the understanding of their emissions profiles and identifying effective reduction strategies.

PCAF’s open-source global GHG accounting standard provides a clear starting point for setting science-based targets (SBTs) and aligning portfolios with the Paris Climate Agreement. By measuring financed emissions, institutions can align with net-zero goals and improve transparency and accountability.

Complying with the GHG Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Standard, the PCAF methodologies ensure emissions are attributed accurately across asset classes, resulting in consistent and comparable disclosures. This supports financial institutions in managing climate-related risks and contributing to global decarbonisation efforts.

PCAF’s methodology is applicable to all financial institutions, making it a vital tool for any organisation aiming to meet climate targets and drive sustainable finance.
