Bank of Jordan Joins the Global "Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials"


Date: 18/03/2026

(Amman, Jordan –18 February 2026): Bank of Jordan has announced its membership in Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF), an initiative that brings together various leading global and local organizations, providing standardized methodologies for measuring and assessing carbon emissions linked to financing and investment activities, as well as disclosing this information in alignment with the highest international standards. This membership marks a significant step in reinforcing the bank’s leadership in sustainability and responsible finance, reflecting its commitment to climate transparency across the financial services sector.

This move reflects the bank’s clear vision to support the transition to a green economy and aligns with national climate change policies as well as the directives of the Central Bank of Jordan to promote green finance and reduce the environmental impact of the financial sector.

Through its membership in PCAF, the bank will further strengthen its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) framework by enhancing its tools for measuring and managing financed emissions, improving transparency and disclosure practices, and reinforcing its climate risk management approach. This will enable customers and partners to better assess and address climate-related risks and opportunities, supporting informed decision-making and reinforcing the bank’s position as a leading institution in sustainable finance.

Bank of Jordan continues to advance ESG integration across its strategy, embedding sustainability considerations into its operations, services, and product offerings. Its efforts include expanding the use of solar energy to meet operational needs; reducing direct and indirect emissions through lower paper consumption and improved resource efficiency; developing green financing solutions; and supporting community-based environmental initiatives. The bank also issues periodic reports to document its sustainability performance and continues to introduce mechanisms that promote environmentally responsible development benefiting the economy, society, and future generations.

Founded in 2015 in the Netherlands and launched globally in 2019, Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials supports over 700 financial institutions with the measuring and reporting of emissions associated with financial activities. Today, it is recognized internationally as a leading framework worldwide.

It is worth noting that Bank of Jordan, established in 1960, is a leading banking institution in Jordan and the region. The bank continues to enhance its financial services and products in line with international best practices, while remaining firmly committed to supporting sustainable economic and social development.
