  WELCOME TO THE GEMI METRICS NAVIGATOR™

The Global Environmental Management Initiative’s (GEMI) Metrics Navigator™ is a tool to help organizations develop and implement metrics that provide insight into complex issues, support business strategy and contribute to business success. The tool presents a thorough, six-step process to select, implement and evaluate a set of "critical few" metrics that focus on an organization’s success. Each step of the tool provides guidance in the form of a worksheet, series of questions or checklist.

  WHAT IS THE GEMI METRICS NAVIGATOR™ ?

In business, numbers drive performance. Organizations use a wide variety of metrics to gauge how well they are meeting the needs of their customers, investors and other stakeholders. Society is becoming more aware of the social and environmental impacts of business activities, and thus, more interested in the relationship between the performance of a business in these areas and its market value and financial performance.

Yet, to realize the value of addressing environmental, social and broader economic issues, non-financial metrics play a key role in driving the success of an organization. These metrics are needed to complement traditional financial measurement systems and help organizations manage long-term business opportunities and future uncertainty and risks.

The challenge is to use the right mix of metrics that provides value to the organization – by providing meaningful information, informing strategy and supporting decision-making.

  WHO SHOULD USE THE GEMI METRICS NAVIGATOR™ ?

The tool is intended for use by managers and environmental, health and safety, and sustainable development practitioners. Any organization can use the tool and apply it at any organizational level. The process is very flexible and does not dictate how to complete the worksheets. In fact, the tool does not require that worksheets be used at all, if an organization already uses proven internal processes for particular steps. The strength of the tool is that it offers a rigorous thought process. The greatest value is in how it helps individuals, groups or entire organizations think through the process - the logical flow of the six steps - and not in the methods included.
