Rainer Schultheis, Executive Vice President, International

Paul Washington, Executive Director, ESG Center
This is a moment to rethink everything. The coronavirus pandemic will only accelerate the unstoppable growth of ESG as a defining business issue of the 2020s.
ESG performance is imperative; yet, C-suite executives face unmet needs:
Welcome to ESG Navigator - the best tool available to large and mid-size companies facing these questions.
"We take so many surveys (e.g., CDP, DJSI, etc.) - and are ranked against our peers, but we rarely gain insights from the results. ESG Navigator allows us to dig into the contributing factors - and see where the opportunities lie."
Michel Washer - Deputy Chief Sustainability Officer - Solvay
"ESG Navigator speaks the language of our C-suite and board; great for engaging senior executives."
Scott Tew - Vice President, Sustainability - Trane Technologies
ESG Navigator is not another one-size-fit-all rating scheme. The Navigator organizes current and emerging ESG topics in one place. It assists practitioners in assessing the relevance of these topics to their business and, with context, examines the organization's maturity in each area and identifies improvement opportunities.
Edan Dionne - Vice President - IBM
"I consider your work the leading pragmatic industry-focused tool for assessment and improvement."
Mark Weick - Lead Director, Sustainability - Dow [retired]
"The dialog among our cross-functional team as we completed our self-assessment was an excellent opportunity to align on ESG internally. This is a simple - yet powerful platform that demonstrates the breadth and influence of ESG in defining business strategies."
Skiles Boyd - Vice President - DTE Energy
"It's very advantageous that the data are confidential. We can be candid with our input, since no other company can see our ratings. Those ratings will provide clarity on where we are in our sustainability journey and where we should focus improvements."
Nancy Kralik - Senior Director, Sustainability - Fluor
"We cannot let ESG ratings dictate our ESG strategy; we must first honestly know our material issues, our strengths and vulnerabilities; put actions in place to address those weaknesses - and then toggle to the ESG ratings to see where they can add value."
Scott Tew - Executive Director - Trane Technologies
"Using ESG Navigator, we laid out a roadmap and took it to our Board. (We had previously been using our own scorecard for the annual update.) They were fascinated! This changed our planning process."
Kathy Gerwig - Vice President - Kaiser Permanente [retired]
“Investors increasingly want to know how we plan to grow our business while addressing critical ESG factors. ESG Navigator helps us measure that and provides an informed best-practice roadmap. In this respect, it is the most robust tool we’ve come across.”
Jon Newton - Eaton Corporation
"We like seeing concrete examples of companies that are in Stage 3 or Stage 4 on areas highly relevant to us."
Christine Martin - VP, Public Affairs and Sustainability - PPL Corporation
"External ESG ratings focus predominantly on environmental and social risks - with hardly any focus on governance or strategy. That's where ESG Navigator is especially helpful."
Linda Hilbert - Executive Director - Consumers Energy
“ESG Navigator is much more than a tool. Gib has brought together a diverse group of leading companies to discuss and address the latest sustainability topics companies are wrestling with.”
Dan Fitzgerald - Director, Product Sustainability - Stanley, Black & Decker
"I've always viewed ESG Navigator as a tool for corporate leadership to assess readiness for success in a carbon-constrained world."
Dave Stangis - Chief Sustainability Officer - Campbell Soup [retired]
