Introduced in January 2018 ▪ 23 open and closed indicator questions. ▪ Voluntary in 2018 & 2019. Responses can be public or private ▪ Intended to complement NOT replace TCFD reporting ▪ Governance & strategy indicator questions to become mandatory to report – but still voluntary to disclose - for 2,099 investors in Q1 2020 5 Investor climate reporting in 2020 Introduced in January 2018 6 Country level reporting Leaders are Nordics and some continental Europe - Finland (41%), Denmark (39%), Norway and France (29%), Sweden (27%). In contrast, Asia and Africa trail. Other regions are close to the global average of 20%. 7 Reporting against TCFD recommendations to the PRI (2020) Caveat: Reporting against the recommendations does not imply meeting them. Most recommendations (apart from Risk Management A) provide details to an affirmative response, but PRI has not conducted any analysis of the content of those responses apart from excluding trivial answers. Note: responses must be non-trivial – 5+ words for each recommendation except for Metrics, where purpose must be 4+ characters and methodology 3+ characters. Recommendations Strategy B and Risk Management B have no corresponding PRI question. Sample size: 444 (AO), 1655 (IM) unless for board oversight – 417 (AO), 1146 (IM) – and senior management role – 409 (AO), 1574 (IM) because some signatories do not have those roles. 8 Reporting against TCFD recommendations to the PRI (2020) 9 Staircase analysis of the quality of reporting Grouping signatories’ responses over four categories STRATEGIC (41) Public response.
