Excel Toolkit


“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 shaping business strategies.”

Skiles Boyd – Vice President – DTE Energy


How to Access the ESG Navigator KPIs

Any company that meets the basic access criteria can rate your company across the full ESG Navigator platform. If you have login credentials, login and go to the Rate Our Company page. If you do not have access, you can Request Log-in Credentials Here.

Bronze members can access the downloadable KSIs in the ESG Navigator Handbook that contains the full ESG Navigator maturity model and rating system Rating Criteria may be available upon request if you are not currently a registered user; please email Gib (gib@hedstromassociates.com) if you want to learn more.

Silver or Gold members can access the Excel Toolkit – an alternative way of viewing – and working with – the 100 KPIs (we refer to as Key Sustainability Indicators – or KSIs) that comprise the ESG Navigator Maturity Model.

Excel Workbook  

An Excel version of the ESG Navigator company self-assessment criteria is available to all Silver and Gold Members.

In an effort to preserve confidentiality, each Excel sheet sent to a Silver or Gold Member is pre-loaded with your company name. All aspects of the Excel sheet except for the rating column and comments column are initially locked. However, we are happy to work with individual members to unlock the Excel Workbook so that you can hide rows and tailor the scoring matrix for your company.

  • If you want to access the Excel Toolkit, please email Gib Hedstrom.
  • You then send the Excel sheet out to multiple people in the company, asking them to complete the ratings.
  • After you receive the completed ratings (Excel sheets) back, you send to us and we shoot back an ESG Internal Alignment Report.
