NO This publication is part of a series by thePortfolio Carbon Initiative (PCI). It aimsto inform the ongoing debate about howpublic- and private-sector banks shouldassess and report on the climate progressof their portfolios. It builds on a multistakeholderprocess that, in 2013, began to standardizethe accounting of Scope 3 “financed emissions”(see Annex A). During that process, some financialinstitutions questioned the meaningfulnessand practicality of the financed emissions metric.To respond to these concerns, PCI partner organizationsagreed to perform a broader assessmentof the various metrics available to help financialinstitutions report on their impacts on climatechange and their contributions (both negative andpositive) to the transition toward a low-carboneconomy. This paper follows a 2015 sister publicationfor investors: Climate Strategies and Metrics:Exploring Options for Institutional Investors.Both these papers are based on a broad PCIreview of the metrics that financial institutionsare using to publicly report on climate progress.
