About the Partnership for Biodiversity Accounting
Financials (PBAF)
The Partnership for Biodiversity Accounting Financials (PBAF) develops
the ‘PBAF Standard’. The PBAF Standard enables financial institutions to assess
and disclose impact and dependencies on biodiversity of loans and investments.
PBAF provides practical guidance to financial institutions on biodiversity
impact and dependency assessment and defines what is needed in order for these
assessments (either or not conducted by data providers) to deliver the right
information to financial institutions. With this information financial
institutions can effectively manage and report on biodiversity related risks
and opportunities and contribute to the conservation and sustainable use of
biodiversity. More information
