Over 150 major companies globally (many Members) use ESG Navigator and have shaped the maturity model since 2015.
100 KPIs - ESG Navigator has 100 KPIs (called Key Sustainability Indicators) with 60% on governance and strategy – the factors that matter most to boards and C-suites.
The Other 50 Percent – Most companies focus their ESG efforts on disclosure – information made public for ESG raters. But the value of ESG for companies lies in the “other 50 percent” – the confidential information about how the company plans to win in the marketplace. ESG Navigator measures both.
Tough Rating System – No company is fully Stage 4 (on the four-stage maturity model); many are Stage 1. The key is to zero in on those critical few KPIs that will drive value for your company – and shoot for Stage 4 on those.
Confidential – ESG Navigator is completely confidential. No one sees your company data except those with whom you share your log-in credentials.
