📈 First Capital Leads SL's Capital Market with Global Climate Partnership

• First Capital Holdings PLC (a JXG subsidiary) has become the first capital markets institution in Sri Lanka to officially join the Partnership for Carbon Accounting Financials (PCAF). • PCAF is a global collaboration of over 600 financial institutions that provides a standardised framework for measuring and disclosing the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions associated with financial activities ("financed emissions"). • This membership deepens FC's commitment to Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles and responsible investing. • For the financial year 2024/25, FC reported operational emissions (Scope 1, 2, and 3) of 309.9 tCO₂e. Adopting the PCAF Standard now enables the firm to assess and report its financed emissions, providing a comprehensive climate impact picture. • The initiative aligns FC’s disclosures with both local (SLFRS S2) and global expectations, enhancing transparency and its ability to manage climate-related financial risks.
