An update on service provider reporting

Reporting for all service provider signatories has been paused until further notice, to focus time and resources on updating the service provider Reporting Framework.

The Reporting Framework for service providers has remained largely unchanged since it was fully implemented in 2018. Given the rapidly evolving landscape, we have taken the decision to pause service provider reporting for the time being and to conduct a broader review of how we can best engage service provider signatories with the reporting process.

We know that the responsible investment landscape continues to evolve and we recognise the need for our reporting to keep pace with the realities of the industry. We believe that pausing reporting for service providers from 2023 will allow us to conduct the necessary work to ensure that the reporting process for service providers is meaningful and insightful – both for our signatories and for the wider industry. Our goal is to create a reporting solution for service providers that is fit-for-purpose and better reflects the current responsible investment landscape.

Previous years’ Reporting Framework for service providers are available to download from our Reporting & Assessment archive.  

Frequently asked questions

When will service providers be able to report next? Do you plan to open reporting for service providers at all?

Reporting for all service provider signatories has been paused while we reassess the service providers’ Reporting Framework and conduct the necessary work to ensure that the reporting process for service providers is meaningful and insightful – both for our signatories and for the wider industry. We will update service provider signatories on the expected resumption of their reporting process in due course and once we have had time to conduct a thorough review process to ensure service provider reporting is optimised for our signatories.

What is the value proposition for service provider signatories without reporting in 2023?

Service providers continue to have access to the many resources available for PRI signatories, including but not limited to the PRI Data Portal, Collaboration Platform, speaker engagements and webinars, and content-specific papers published by the PRI, among others. In addition, the PRI lists all service provider signatories and the professional services they offer in an easily accessible public directory for investors to utilise.

By pausing reporting in 2023, our aim is to establish and deliver the best way to support service providers in their responsible investment journeys. We will keep signatories updated on any future decisions around how we propose to engage service provider signatories with the reporting process.
