Thank you to our expert panel speakers and more than 110 industry participants for joining the HKGFA Transition Training Series – Introduction to Setting Science-Based Targets for Private Equity Firms.
Key take aways on how private equity firms can facilitate credible GHG emissions reduction targets:
- PE firms can follow a 7-step process to set science-based reduction targets for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions.
- PCAF (Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials) can be used to help calculate a firm’s financed emissions, and PE firms identify a baseline for GHG emissions.
- GHG emissions data availability, coverage and corporate governance remains key challenges for private equity firms to set science-based targets.
