CFP Green Buildings officially accredited as PCAF Partner
CFP Green Buildings has officially been accredited as a Regional Accredited Partner of the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF). The accreditation marks the successful completion of the process that CFP announced earlier and confirms that its software aligns with the PCAF Standard for measuring and reporting financed greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Strengthening carbon accounting for real estate portfolios
With this accreditation, CFP Green Buildings strengthens its ability to support banks, investors and property owners in analysing and reporting GHG emissions from real estate portfolios.
Each year, CFP evaluates more than 10 million buildings, providing insight into the emissions impact and financial business case of energy-efficiency measures. By embedding the PCAF carbon accounting methodology into its Green Buildings Tool and other digital solutions, CFP enables financial institutions to measure and report financed emissions in a consistent and transparent way across their portfolios.
Supporting financial institutions in meeting climate targets
Reliable carbon accounting is becoming increasingly important for financial institutions as climate targets tighten and reporting requirements evolve. The PCAF accreditation confirms that CFP’s methodology supports robust calculations of financed emissions and portfolio-level reporting aligned with internationally recognised standards.
Nanda Verschoor, Head of International Operations at CFP Green Buildings said: “Becoming a PCAF Accredited Partner is an important milestone for CFP. Financial institutions have long used our tools to assess both the emissions impact and the financial business case of building retrofits. With the integration of the PCAF Standard, this work is now fully aligned with the industry’s leading methodology for financed emissions. It enables banks to combine credible carbon accounting with the practical insights needed to prioritise investments, engage clients and support the transition of real estate portfolios.”
