Regulatory guides

The stewardship frameworks, decoded.

A plain-English reference to the six regimes engage insights covers out of the box — what each one requires, the obligations that trip teams up, and how the platform turns them into evidence you can file. Built for stewardship, compliance and reporting leads.

Coverage

Six frameworks, one audit trail.

Report under every regime you're subject to from a single source of truth — no re-keying, no reconciling spreadsheets the night before a filing.

EU · Shareholder rights

SRD II

What it requires

Asset managers must publicly disclose an engagement policy and report annually on how they voted and engaged with investee companies.

Publish and maintain a shareholder engagement policy
Disclose voting behaviour, including the most significant votes
Explain the use of proxy advisors on a comply-or-explain basis

How EI helps

Every vote and dialogue is captured with rationale and a timestamp, then exported into an SRD II-ready disclosure in one click.

France · AMF label

ISR Label 3.0

What it requires

France's revamped SRI label (in force from 2024) sets binding minimum standards on exclusions, engagement and transparency for labelled funds.

Apply mandatory exclusions (fossil fuels, controversial activities)
Run and evidence a structured engagement programme
Report ESG indicators and outcomes with full traceability

How EI helps

Tracks engagement coverage and escalation against the label's thresholds, with audit-ready indicator reporting mapped to the 2024 referential.

UK · FRC code

UK Stewardship Code 2020

What it requires

Signatories submit an annual, outcomes-focused stewardship report against 12 apply-and-explain principles to remain on the FRC's list.

Demonstrate stewardship outcomes, not just activity
Cover all asset classes, including fixed income
Report annually with case-study evidence

How EI helps

Links engagements to measurable outcomes across equities and bonds, so your FRC report writes itself from real activity — not memory.

EU · Disclosure regulation

SFDR Art. 8 / 9

What it requires

Funds promoting ESG characteristics (Art. 8) or with a sustainable objective (Art. 9) must make pre-contractual and periodic disclosures, including principal adverse impacts.

Disclose principal adverse impact (PAI) indicators
Evidence engagement as a PAI mitigation action
Produce consistent periodic reporting per RTS templates

How EI helps

Connects engagement records to PAI indicators so you can show, with data lineage, how stewardship addresses adverse impacts.

Global · Principles

UN PRI

What it requires

Signatories report annually against the PRI reporting framework, evidencing responsible-investment practices across active ownership and voting.

Report active ownership and engagement activity
Evidence voting practices and outcomes
Maintain data quality for assessment scoring

How EI helps

Keeps a structured, exportable record of engagement and voting all year, so the PRI module is a data pull — not a scramble.

US · SEC rule

SEC Climate

What it requires

The SEC's climate-disclosure rules push registrants and their investors toward consistent, decision-useful climate data and governance disclosure.

Track climate-related engagement with US issuers
Document voting on climate-related proposals
Retain a defensible, timestamped record of decisions

How EI helps

Retrieves filings from EDGAR, logs climate-vote rationale, and keeps a defensible record of every climate engagement and decision.
