TransBank JSC has joined the Netherlands-based Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF) to measure and disclose the greenhouse gas emissions from its financial activities.
The risk posed by climate change is considered a significant concern for banks and financial institutions. It has become a priority for these institutions to assess, define, and transparently report the risk, as well as to make efforts to mitigate potential risks. In this context, PCAF has developed a unified methodology for assessing, measuring and disclosing the greenhouse gas emissions from loans and investment of financial institutions. With more than 400 financial institutions from six continents, the group is rapidly expanding in North America, Latin America, Europe, Africa and Asia-Pacific. For TransBank, our participation in this partnership is crucial as it allows us to contribute to global efforts aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions. We will introduce innovative standards into our business operations, support environmentally friendly practices among our customers, and facilitate a transition towards a low-carbon development path.
