Standards Alignment

Alignment you can verify.

PCAF, GHG Protocol, TCFD. We implement alignment at the formula level, preserve it in immutable audit records, and expose it for third-party verification. Anyone can claim compliance. Fewer can prove it.

Peercarbon Core Unifying PCAF, GHG, and TCFD Standards
Framework Alignment
Methodology

PCAF Global Standard

Asset-class specific emission formulas. Data quality scoring (DQ 1-5). Attribution factor calculations.

Formula-level implementation

Accounting

GHG Protocol Scope 3

Category 15 (Investments). Boundary setting. Attribution principles. Organizational scope definitions.

Foundational accounting, not derivative interpretation

Disclosure

TCFD Framework

Metrics and targets pillar. Emissions associated with financial activities as core disclosure. Climate risk integration pathway.

Disclosure-ready outputs, not just calculations

Definition

What "Aligned" Actually Means

"Aligned" means the formula in your disclosure matches the formula in the standard. Character for character. No discretionary adjustments. No "equivalent" methods.

Four Requirements for Genuine Alignment

Asset-Class Specificity

Each asset class uses its designated PCAF methodology. No cross-application.

Exact Attribution Factors

Outstanding Amount / EVIC. Not "similar" ratios. The specified calculation.

Data Hierarchy Enforcement

System-enforced fallback order. No manual proxy selection that skips the hierarchy.

Immutable Calculation Record

Every input, formula, and output preserved. Reproducible by third parties.

What "Aligned" Doesn't Mean

  • - "We reference PCAF in our methodology document"
  • - "Our approach is consistent with the spirit of the standard"
  • - "We use similar emission factors"

What Peercarbon Delivers

  • + Formula-level implementation you can audit
  • + CarbonMap Records that reproduce your totals
  • + Third-party verifiable calculation records
Regulatory Readiness

Built for Incoming Regulation

African regulators are moving toward mandatory climate disclosure. We're building the infrastructure now.

African Central Banks

Kenya

CBK

CBK Climate Risk Disclosure Framework published April 4, 2025. Transition period active.

South Africa

SARB

National Climate Change Bill. TCFD-aligned disclosure requirements.

Nigeria

CBN

Sustainable Banking Principles. Climate risk management guidelines.

Global Convergence

IFRS S2

ISSB

Mandatory for Kenya PIEs, periods beginning on/after January 1, 2027. Scope 3 Category 15 required.

EU CSRD

2025

Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Mandatory Scope 3 disclosure.

SEC Climate Rule

US

Climate-related disclosure requirements. Emissions associated with financial activities on the roadmap.

Verification

How We Prove Alignment

Here's how we back up what we say.

PCAF Accreditation

Official PCAF data partner. Methodology validated by the standard body itself.

CarbonMap Record

Every disclosure includes inputs, formulas, and outputs. Auditors can reproduce your totals.

Auditor Protocol

Third-party access without client dependency. Verifiers work directly with the evidence.

One standard.
One record.
Total alignment.

REGULATORY READINESS

Start with your portfolio structure. We'll show you what defensible disclosure looks like.

30 minutes. Your data shape. No uploads required.
