About


“I’ve always viewed the Sustainable Growth Navigator as a powerful platform for corporate leadership to assess readiness for success in a carbon-constrained world.”

Dave Stangis – Partner & Chief Sustainability Officer – Apollo Global Management


The Sustainable Growth Navigator (also referred to as ESG Navigator until 2025) is a corporate sustainability assessment and strategic planning platform – designed in Fortune-500 boardrooms. The Navigator is the preeminent tool for S&P 1000 companies to deliver business value from sustainability.

  • Our Value Proposition: The Sustainable Growth Navigator empowers C-Suite executives and teams to hard-wire climate and sustainability into business fundamentals. Unlike any other platform, it measures where your company honestly stands (not only on data your disclose publicly – but also on confidential aspects of the business) – and build robust governance to drive value creation.
  • Unique Features: Unlike every other sustainability rating tool we are aware of, the Sustainable Growth Navigator measures company performance on KPIs that are both publicly disclosedand those that are confidential. Companies do not disclose areas of competitive intelligence (e.g., board meeting agendas; innovation pipeline; etc.); yet, roughly half of the 100 KPIs in the Sustainable Growth Navigator measure confidential aspects of the business.
