C Absolute Emissions
We've started disclosing absolute financed emissions for sectors where we've set targets to
provide our stakeholders with additional transparency and comparability of information
. We have aligned our absolute financed emissions disclosure with fiscal year reporting and built on international standards and guidance to make our calculations.
We intend to report this metric annually moving forward
As a point of comparison, we also disclosed and explained the differences between our own emissions reporting using Carbon Compass SM methodology and the
PCAF methodology used by some of our stakeholders
• The table below summarizes main deviations of our Carbon Compass SM methodology from PCAF's methodology and states the reasons we believe these
address the main shortcomings of PCAF's methodology

REASONS FOR DEVIATION
Using a three-year average of capital structure helps
us reduce distortion due to the effect of volatility on
company valuations
Including 100% of our share in capital markets activity
allows us to provide a more complete picture of our
financing activity and how we are supporting our
clients through direct lending and capital markets
facilitation
As one of the top renewable energy tax equity
investors in the U.S., we believe including tax equity
best captures our financing impact
Using 12-month monthly average enables us to
capture the impact of short-term obligations, such as
bridge loans, which frequently have terms of less than
one year
We still believe measuring our financed emission's intensity is the most decision-useful metric for our business
