Strategic Vision unveils the new SmartGreen Index (SGI) which reflects the relationships between perceived quality plus overall value and "green" issues, such as fuel economy and environmental friendliness.

SGI is based on actual customer experiences and is weighted according to those aspects which best predict customer advocacy, overall satisfaction, future brand choices and loyalty, which ultimately result in increased model and brand sales.
