AccountAbility works to promote accountability innovations for sustainable development.

We are a global, not-for-profit self-managed partnership founded in 1995, with bases in Beijing, Geneva, London, Sao Paulo and Washington D.C. and Country Representatives in Brazil, Canada, China, Jordan, Spain, Sweden and the US.

We are a unique global network of leading business, public and civil institutions working to build and demonstrate the possibilities for tomorrow’s global markets and governance through thought-leadership and advisory services. By working together we aim to scale up impacts through:

Enabling open, fair and effective approaches to stakeholder engagement;
Developing and rewarding strategies for responsible competitiveness in companies, sectors, countries and regions;
Creating and developing effective collaborative governance strategies for partnerships and multilateral organisations that are delivering innovation and value, and
Setting and influencing sustainability standards.
Our vision is of a world of civil power where people have a say in the decisions that impact on them and where decision makers act, and are transparent about their actions, on the issues that matter.

At the core of our work is the AA1000 Series of Standards based on the principles of:

Inclusivity - people should have a say in the decisions that impact on them
Materiality - decision makers should identify and be clear about the issues that matter
Responsiveness -  organisations should be transparent about their actions
