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.
PCAF Global Standard
Asset-class specific emission formulas. Data quality scoring (DQ 1-5). Attribution factor calculations.
Formula-level implementation
GHG Protocol Scope 3
Category 15 (Investments). Boundary setting. Attribution principles. Organizational scope definitions.
Foundational accounting, not derivative interpretation
TCFD Framework
Metrics and targets pillar. Emissions associated with financial activities as core disclosure. Climate risk integration pathway.
Disclosure-ready outputs, not just calculations
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
Built for Incoming Regulation
African regulators are moving toward mandatory climate disclosure. We're building the infrastructure now.
African Central Banks
Kenya
CBKCBK Climate Risk Disclosure Framework published April 4, 2025. Transition period active.
South Africa
SARBNational Climate Change Bill. TCFD-aligned disclosure requirements.
Nigeria
CBNSustainable Banking Principles. Climate risk management guidelines.
Global Convergence
IFRS S2
ISSBMandatory for Kenya PIEs, periods beginning on/after January 1, 2027. Scope 3 Category 15 required.
EU CSRD
2025Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive. Mandatory Scope 3 disclosure.

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.
