BlueComm and PCAF’s partnership comes at a key time for the region. Asian financial institutions are seeing an increase in new regulations that align with international frameworks such as International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB). With rising demand for accurate and technology-enabled emissions data and information, BlueComm’s collaboration with PCAF positions it as a partner in enabling financial institutions to calculate their greenhouse gas footprints, meet regulatory requirements, and unlock actionable insights.
As an Accredited Partner, BlueComm collaborates closely with PCAF to integrate the PCAF’s globally recognized Standard into its platform and services. This collaboration enables financial institutions in East Asia and the Pacific region to not only provide consistent, transparent emissions disclosures but also gain actionable insights that guide portfolio transitions and inform forward-looking sustainable investment strategies.
"At a time when Asian regulatory regimes are racing toward making climate disclosures compulsory, our partnership with PCAF is timely, imperative and a game-changer for sustainable finance in Asia,” said Ted Chen, CEO of BlueComm. “By aligning our platform with PCAF’s rigorous standards, we’re equipping financial institutions with the tools to disclose with confidence, optimize portfolios responsibly, and drive measurable progress toward net zero.”
BlueComm is already delivering results. For instance, CTBC Bank, a pioneer in Asia, has adopted BlueComm’s PCAF-aligned solutions and is setting the pace for science-based financed emissions targets and their implementation in Southeast Asia. This kind of engagement sets the path for technology as a driver of action when developed from sound standards.
"PCAF is in partnership with an international network who provide both technical expertise and local knowledge to GHG emissions accounting”, said Bart van Lunteren, PCAF Accredited Partner Lead. “We are delighted to welcome BlueComm as an Accredited Partner. Their strong local market presence, combined with state-of-the-art technology capabilities and deep sustainability expertise will be essential to extending the reach and impact of the PCAF Standard across East Asia and the Pacific.”
