ESG

What is World Civility Index?

This Index is somewhat similar to a person's credit rating, but instead of measuring how well a person can pay his bills, it measures a person's soft skills such as business etiquette, empathy, intercultural awareness.

The concept is that job-seekers can get the credential based on the World Civility Index, as proof, to show to employers EVERYWHERE!

This allows companies to (1) improve corporate culture, help employees feel safe and respected. At the same time, (2) improve ESG rating* and (3) improve society to be more civil. Feeding three birds with one seed!

* ESG goals are more easily achieved when people work together and are more outward thinking. Sensitivity for the natural environment is heightened when people have the mental space and security to consider how environmental objectives affect everyone on the planet. In addition, as the World Civility Index measurement is collected by a 3rd-party (us) rather than in-house by the company, it eliminates any suspicion of greenwashing, something looked upon positively from investors.

What is its best feature?

Having a neutral, third-party measurement for a company's civility level will eliminate "greenwashing" in reflecting company culture.

Why is climate change so hard to fix?

Citizens need to feel safe and respected, otherwise it would be hard for people to have the mental space to think about the "big things", like climate change. And when citizens don't have the space to think about climate change, they won't vote for the right politicians to be in office to implement the needed climate policy.

So the "root cause" is really what is in people's head -- our civility and empathy. And the World Civility Index is helping to solve this.
