Start with Materiality
Review your latest ESG materiality assessment (or whatever equivalent document you have internally) to identify the major environmental and social impacts and related stakeholder concerns.

- SOCIAL: What are the key “S” issues that pose a material risk?
- GOVERNANCE: How does the company manage both ESG risks and opportunities?

Criteria to Rate Importance
We recommend tagging ~10-15% of the ESG Navigator KSIs as “Most Important” (we have also referred to as “Highly Relevant”). That means flagging a total of ~15-25 (of the 100) KSIs as most important. That equates to 1-2 per each of the 17 elements – on average.
Suggested breakdown of “Most Important” (Highly Relevant) KSIs by Section:
- Governance: ~6-8 highly relevant KSIs
- Strategy: ~4-6 highly relevant KSIs
- Environment: ~3-4 highly relevant KSIs
- Social: ~3-4 highly relevant KSIs
How Your Peers Prioritize
We constantly analyze how all of the companies using ESG Navigator are scoring their companies. In particular, we look at the summary of which KSIs companies most frequently select as being “Most Important” (Highly Relevant).
