Financed-emissions data-quality score

Measurement answer

What this metric measures

The financed-emissions data-quality score is an exposure-weighted ordinal score across included portfolio positions. A score of one represents the highest-quality class and five the lowest; a decimal portfolio result reflects weighting, not a new class.

Evidence and status sources

Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

Source-edition basis: PCAF Part A, Third Edition, December 2025.

  • Applicable asset-class data-quality hierarchy and edition
  • Score assigned to each included position or scoring group
  • Exposure-weighting basis and reporting date
  • Portfolio coverage and treatment of missing or uncovered positions
  • Distribution by score class alongside the weighted portfolio result

Record-specific limitations

  • The score is ordinal: numerical distance between adjacent classes does not represent equal improvement.
  • A decimal portfolio score results from exposure weighting and is not an additional source-data class.
  • Results depend on portfolio coverage, asset-class method, scoring hierarchy and the declared exposure-weighting basis.
  • The score is not assurance, measurement uncertainty, error probability or a percentage.

Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.

Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
