PeerCarbon, PCAF’s first Accredited Partner in Africa, Joins to Boost Emissions Accounting in the African Financial Sector

The Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) has announced PeerCarbon as its latest Accredited Partner, recognizing the company’s role in supporting PCAF-aligned accounting across African financial institutions. This partnership signals rising momentum toward uniform, high-integrity emissions accounting for financial activities in Africa.

PeerCarbon delivers data for emissions associated with financial activities and governance infrastructure that enables banks and investors to calculate, manage, and substantiate portfolio-level emissions associated with their financing activities. The company’s infrastructure is engineered to support disclosures aligned with the PCAF methodology amidst the data limitations and regulatory realities of emerging financial markets, producing audit-ready, defensible financed-emissions outputs for direct use in portfolio risk assessment, capital allocation, and emissions management.

The collaboration between PCAF and PeerCarbon will drive the alignment of methodologies, tools, and institutional capacity for greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting, reinforcing consistency, credibility, and regulatory confidence, while empowering financial institutions to act on emissions data at portfolio scale.

“Joining the PCAF Accredited Partners Program marks a pivotal milestone for PeerCarbon and African financial institutions. As Scope 3 Category 15 disclosure becomes a supervisory expectation, banks need more than alignment - they need infrastructure. This accreditation validates our commitment to delivering audit-grade, standards-aligned systems that make GHG accounting defensible and operational under real-world portfolio conditions.”
Raymond Maiyo, Co-Founder & CEO, PeerCarbon Earth Inc.
“Africa’s financial sector faces growing demand for GHG accounting disclosure and PeerCarbon’s infrastructure addresses this directly by offering a scalable pathway for banks and funds to align with international standards. This partnership reflects our shared commitment to accelerating emissions measurement and management.”
Bart van Lunteren, PCAF Accredited Partner Lead
