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- **Data Inaccuracy Risks:** The use of outdated emission factors introduced potential calculation errors and significant compliance risks.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