AccountAbility Launches World’s First Stakeholder Engagement Standard


AccountAbility Launches World’s First Stakeholder Engagement Standard

Today, September 22, 2005, AccountAbility launches the exposure draft of the first international standard for stakeholder engagement: the AA1000SES. The standard is now available for download from Accountability’s website: www.accountability.org.uk.

This standard raises the bar on stakeholder engagement. It moves it from a nice-to-have conversation to an integral part of how organisations do business, subject to the same disciplines and quality checks that would be applied to any other aspect of learning and development, or governance and accountability”, said Simon Zadek, CEO, AccountAbility.

Organisational challenges make it more important to engage with both previously ignored stakeholders and with more familiar stakeholders on new topics in new ways.
