Financed emissions software

Financed emissions software is for banks, insurers, asset managers and other lenders working out the emissions attributable to loans, investments and underwriting. General carbon accounting tools do not usually cover this well.

What it typically covers

  • PCAF-aligned methods across asset classes
  • Listed equity, corporate debt, project finance, mortgages, motor loans
  • Data quality scoring per position
  • Portfolio roll-up with sector and geography breakdowns
  • Scenario analysis against a temperature pathway

Signs you need it

  • You are a regulated financial institution reporting under CSRD, ISSB or TCFD
  • You have set a net zero target that includes financed emissions
  • Your loan book or portfolio is the dominant emissions driver

What to ask a vendor

  • Which PCAF asset classes are supported and at what data quality
  • How they source counterparty emissions when disclosure is missing
  • Whether output feeds into your regulatory reporting workflow
  • How the tool handles new asset classes as PCAF publishes them
