On 12 November 2020, Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) issued significant updates to the
reporting framework (RF) for signatories. The new
requirements are more focused on "real world" outcomes
meaning signatories needs to show how environmental, social, and
governance (ESG) factors are integrated into
investment analysis and execution. Many firms are now racing to get
aligned with the enhanced requirements.
It is compulsory for signatories to report on their responsible
investment (RI) activities annually and it is one
of the explicit commitments PRI signatories make upon signing the
Principles. The new RF is effective for the 2021 reporting cycle,
and all current PRI signatories must report on their RI activities
by 31 March 2021. PRI's reporting timeline is found below.
