How a Leading Asset Manager Achieved 90%+ Financed Emissions Coverage

See how Pantas enabled a leading asset manager to transform emissions reporting into strategic action.

As one of Malaysia’s largest institutional investors, this client manages over RM300 billion in assets across a diverse range of asset classes. With a long-standing commitment to environmental responsibility, the institution is focused on aligning its investment strategy with national and global climate goals.

The Strategic Challenge

The institution’s existing approach to financed emissions was not sustainable for meeting the demands of frameworks like PCAF and Bursa Malaysia:

• Manual, Consultant-Driven Reporting: Reliance on costly external consultants and static spreadsheets was inefficient and led to high costs.

• Data Inaccuracy Risks: The use of outdated emission factors introduced potential calculation errors and significant compliance risks.

• Lack of Scalability: The existing tools could not support broader emissions coverage as the investment portfolio continued to grow.

• Fragmented Data & Workflows: Siloed data limited internal visibility and created bottlenecks in the assurance and audit preparation process.

The Pantas Solution

As Asia’s first PCAF-accredited software platform, Pantas ensured the institution's alignment with global best practices in financed emissions accounting, turning financed emissions reporting into a strategic asset.

• PCAF-Accredited Automation: We automated the measurement of Scope 1 and 2 emissions across asset classes, using the highest PCAF data quality standards.

• Primary Data Collection at Scale: Our platform engaged over 200 portfolio companies directly, enabling the collection of high-quality primary data (PCAF Score 1).

• Real-Time Data Integration: We ensured emissions and market data remained current and auditable through live integration with Bloomberg.

• Strategic Insight Tools: We deployed our Carbon Barometer and Pathway Dashboard, enabling long-term scenario modelling and alignment of investment strategy with net-zero goals.

The Transformation: From Compliance Task to Strategic Asset

The institution transitioned to a fully digital, audit-ready system that shifted their climate reporting from a reactive chore to a proactive tool for sustainable investing.

• 90%+ Portfolio Emissions Coverage: Achieved comprehensive visibility into financed emissions using PCAF-aligned methodologies.

• 200+ Portfolio Companies Directly Engaged: Radically improved data quality by moving from estimates to primary data collection.

• Audit-Ready Reporting: Generated seamless reports aligned with Bursa Malaysia, PCAF, and TCFD requirements, reducing reliance on external consultants.

• Strategic Investment Planning: Began using emissions insights to inform capital allocation, climate risk assessment, and engagement strategies.
