Portfolio Footprinting
Sound emissions data for science-based climate targets
Many financial institutions are faced with the task of creating transparency about their portfolio values. True to the motto "You can't manage what you don't measure", the footprinting of GHG emissions in the portfolio forms the starting point for everything that follows.
agradblue assists financial institutions in selecting relevant data sources that serve as the basis for their own (net zero) climate targets and supports them in implementing the established GHG accounting standard. This was developed by the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), recognized by the GHG Protocol and is reflected in the reporting required by the market and regulators (e.g. in the Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation). At agradblue, we can provide independent advice and also have other data requirements, for example for the calculation of scientific climate targets.
