PCAF public consultation on new methods and guidance

We are excited to share an important chapter in PCAF’s mission, the Public Consultation for 2023-2024. It is our goal to address the complex, evolving needs of the financial industry through practical, industry-led methodologies that enable financial institutions to take meaningful and measurable steps to a lower carbon economy. From methods assessing securitized and structured products to innovations like forward-looking emission metrics, these proposed methodologies reflect deep engagement, technical precision and above all else – a commitment to continuously improve industry standards.

Now we invite industry stakeholders to engage in a vital next step: public insight and feedback to finetune the collective work to this point. This consultation presents an opportunity to shape standards that will have a lasting impact on the financial sector. Your contributions will help solidify and elevate the impact of these methodologies and ensure the Standard continues to meet the dynamic and evolving needs of the global sector.

Please read the consultations, and use the related surveys to provide your feedback by 28 February:
