Case Study: Aichi Financial Group achieves PCAF-aligned financed emissions reporting with Persefoni

Aichi Financial Group uses Persefoni to measure financed emissions

Aichi Financial Group, a Tokyo Stock Exchange-listed financial institution in Japan, wanted to better understand and disclose its emissions as part of its path to carbon neutrality. The company needed a more accurate and efficient way to measure direct emissions, scope 3 emissions, and financed emissions across its portfolio, and it turned to Persefoni for carbon accounting software that could align with global standards and improve transparency.

With Persefoni, Aichi Financial Group automated PCAF-aligned emissions calculations, reduced manual spreadsheet work, and improved data quality through centralized, auditable reporting. Using Persefoni and Persefoni Pro, the company produced a TCFD-aligned climate disclosure in 2024, disclosed scope 3 categories 1-5 and financed emissions, and measured 8,000,000 MtCO2e of financed emissions; it also reported improved ESG recognition, including a rise in its CDP Climate Change rating from C to B.
