• Companies/issuers will report this data (required by the Taxonomy and the forthcoming Corporate Sustainable Reporting Directive (CSRD)). • Asset Managers and other financial market participants (FMPs) will use this reported information for various purposes as required by the SFDR. • Large asset managers and FMPs will also report their own corporate-level PAI data. How does NAM use PAI data? NAM has been using elements of the PAI concept for many years. However, the regulation has formalized this framework and we are now taking the opportunity to take our tools to the next level. With the introduction of PAI specifically, we have recognized both the importance and usefulness of PAI indicators by building the “PAI Engine” , part of NAM’s ESG data platform, to compile the PAI data for each company we analyse. Going forward, PAI indicators will be part of the data set that portfolio managers see and consider within their ESG integration process.
