Expansion of the PCAF Board of Directors: Applications Now Open
The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) has opened applications to expand its Board of Directors. The PCAF Board of Directors serves as the governing body and is responsible for setting and overseeing PCAF’s mission, vision, strategy, and overall direction. Board members represent a diverse range of financial institutions and play a critical role in guiding PCAF’s development and monitoring its progress.
Responsibilities of Board members
Set, oversee, and be accountable for PCAF’s mission, strategy, and goals;
Participate in Board meetings, document reviews, and voting;
Oversee PCAF’s financials and budget;
Appoint key leadership roles and approve the creation of new Regional and National Implementation Teams; and
Support decision-making related to the development of the PCAF Standards when needed.
Selection Criteria
We encourage all interested signatories to consider applying. Specifically, we are looking for representatives of financial institutions who:
Have a good understanding of PCAF and its key principles to act as ambassadors and strongly identify with PCAF’s mission and principles;
Represent a diverse and inclusive body in terms of gender, geography and type of institution. We especially encourage applications from representatives of both global financial institutions and financial institutions headquartered in Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, and Asia-Pacific;
Have previous Board participation and/or experience in policy schemes for the financial sector; and
Have sufficient time to support the governance and decision-making processes (approx. 8 hours/month on average for reviews, Board meetings, representation of PCAF in events/meetings and an in-person meeting at least once a year).
Selection Process
Candidates will be selected through an application process and elected by the current Board of Directors. A Board Subcommittee will review applications and conduct interviews in May 2026.
New Board members are expected to be appointed by June 2026.
How to Apply
Interested candidates should submit a letter of interest and CV to info@carbonaccountingfinancials.com for the attention of Angélica Afanador and Madeline Schneider by Friday, 10 April 2026.
