What is the Data Portal? 

The Data Portal is an online platform that allows signatories and public users to access the PRI’s reported data. The Data Portal offers in-depth insights into signatories’ responsible investment practices, based on data from over 3,800 investors and over 300 service providers.

The Data Portal:

  • highlights current responsible investment trends through PRI data; 
  • promotes transparency, learning and development by producing module- and indicator-level scores, downloadable reports and assessment scorecards; 
  • provides insights into leading practices and areas of improvement;
  • facilitates informed decision making among signatories.

What happens after signatories submit their reports? 

Asset owner and investment manager signatories that submitted their reports by the reporting deadline this year will receive the following outputs:  

  • A public Transparency Report, which includes all public responses to core indicators, as well as responses to plus indicators that signatories have agreed to make public.
  • A private Transparency Report, which includes all public and private responses. 
  • A private Assessment Report, which provides module- and indicator-level scores as outlined in the Data Portal Signatory User Guide. The PRI does not  provide an overall organisation score.

For more information on the 2024 Reporting Framework, please refer to the Investor Reporting Framework webpage.

Disclaimer regarding the use of 2023 public reporting data 

Please be advised that the 2023 data may not necessarily reflect signatories’ current practices. The dataset was collected during the PRI’s 2023 reporting cycle and may be based on information from the previous financial reporting year. The PRI stands by the validity of the 2023 reporting data as a true and accurate reflection of the period within which it was gathered and maintains that the data provides important understanding of global responsible investment practices during this period.     

FAQs

Sharing the entire signatory reporting dataset as an Excel file delivers vital transparency to our signatories and the wider sector. This is not a new practice – the PRI has historically always shared the reporting data in this way.  

The file presents information reported directly by signatories in the latest reporting cycle. This information has not been audited by the PRI or any other party acting on its behalf. While this information is believed to be reliable, no representations or warranties are made as to the accuracy of the information presented.

The ability to share reports is not a function currently available in the Data Portal. However, users can make individual requests to see the private transparency or assessment reports of peers.
