Core Features
The Sustainable Growth Navigator platform is designed to help organizations understand their current sustainability maturity, compare themselves with peers, and identify practical improvements across governance, strategy, and business functions. Its main features include:
Sustainability Maturity Assessment: Evaluates organizations using a proprietary four-stage maturity model covering approximately 100 Key Sustainability Indicators (KSIs).
Peer Benchmarking: Compares performance against a database of more than 150 participating companies, with options for industry, sector, custom peer groups, and top performers.
Confidential Performance Assessment: Measures both publicly disclosed information and confidential internal governance and management practices that are not captured by conventional ESG ratings.
Board and Executive Reporting: Produces visual analytics—including the platform's Snake Chart—to support discussions with boards and executive leadership.
Regulation and Ratings Mapping: Helps organizations understand how their sustainability practices align with major ESG frameworks, regulations, and rating systems.
Improvement Roadmaps: Identifies governance gaps, highlights global leading practices, and provides recommendations to help organizations strengthen sustainability performance over time.
Closing Insights
Developed by sustainability adviser Gilbert (Gib) Hedstrom, Sustainable Growth Navigator reflects more than two decades of work with Fortune 500 boards and corporate sustainability leaders. The platform was conceived after board members repeatedly asked for a practical way to understand how their companies compared with peers and whether they were prepared for a carbon-constrained future. It equips boards and C-suite executives with structured benchmarking, governance insights, and strategic guidance to embed sustainability into long-term business planning and value creation.
This emphasis on board-level decision-making addresses one of the biggest challenges facing businesses today. Corporate boards ultimately approve long-term strategy, capital allocation, major investments, acquisitions, and enterprise risk management—all of which increasingly require an informed understanding of climate and sustainability issues. Sustainable Growth Navigator is designed to improve that decision-making by helping directors and executives assess organizational maturity, identify governance gaps, and prioritize actions before they become regulatory, operational, or competitive liabilities.
The platform is offered through four membership tiers. Starter provides free benchmarking, while Bronze costs US$1,000 per year, Gold US$5,500 per year, and Gold Plus US$8,500 per year, adding coaching and advisory support for organizations seeking deeper engagement with their sustainability strategy.
