By joining PCAF’s Accredited Partner Program, Ahya will support financial institutions across the MENAP region in measuring and disclosing the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with their financial activities. The partnership expands access to the Global GHG Accounting and Reporting Standard (“PCAF Standard”) as well as tools and guidance that promote consistency and comparability in GHG accounting and disclosure.
The partnership comes at a time when financial institutions across the MENAP region need support with disclosing their GHG emissions. AhyaOS enables financial institutions to simplify calculations of emissions associated with financial activities, utilizing PCAF’s data quality scoring methodology—ranking data precision from Score 1 (verified data) to Score 5 (estimates)—to validate portfolio emissions, set science-based targets (SBTi), assess transition risks, and confidently deploy capital toward green projects. AhyaAI provides prediction automation and decision support across Ahya’s robust and secure data ecosystem.
Salaal Hasan, Founder and CEO, at Ahya, said:
“Becoming a PCAF Accredited Partner reinforces our commitment to embedding globally recognized GHG accounting methodologies within AhyaOS. Financial institutions across the MENAP region are strengthening their disclosure frameworks and governance structures, and standardized measurement of emissions associated with financial activities is a critical component. Through this partnership, we are enabling institutions to implement PCAF-aligned methodologies within a secure and scalable digital environment.”
Bart van Lunteren, Accredited Partner Lead, at PCAF, said:
“We are pleased to welcome Ahya as a Partner Undergoing Accredited. PCAF provides standards, tools and guidance to help service providers and financial institutions measure and disclose the GHG emissions associated with their financial activities in a consistent and harmonized way. Ahya’s regional expertise and technology capabilities will support financial institutions across the MENAP region in applying the PCAF Standard and strengthening transparency and accountability in GHG reporting.”
The PCAF Accredited Partner Program is designed for consultancies, data providers and software firms that support financial institutions in implementing the PCAF Standard. Accredited Partners receive access to the PCAF Academy, the PCAF Emissions Factor Database and technical resources to help ensure high-quality GHG measurement and disclosure practices.
