The AA1000AP (2018) is an internationally accepted, principles-based framework that guides organizations through the process of identifying, prioritizing, and responding to sustainability challenges, with the goal of improving long-term performance.
Systematically obtaining, understanding, and responding to stakeholder views and needs is a critical foundation for achieving organizational success and sustainability.
The AA1000 AccountAbility Stakeholder Engagement Standard (2015) – the most widely applied stakeholder engagement standard – establishes the global benchmark for conducting high-quality stakeholder engagement projects and programs.
The AA1000SES:
- Provides a simple, relevant, and practical framework to implement high-quality stakeholder engagement
- Outlines how to rethink an organization's approach to engagement by empowering stakeholders as active contributors to value creation
- Describes how to integrate stakeholder engagement with an organization's governance, strategy, and operations
