What's new

        • New Reporting Framework

          The Reporting and Assessment team at the PRI has recently released a new framework for the disclosure of responsible investment activities. The Reporting Framework is available here now and the online tool to input responses to the framework will be released in early June. The Reporting Framework is running as a voluntary pilot this year, and we encourage signatories to participate in order to provide their feedback on the new approach before the framework is finalised for 2013.
