AccountAbility is a global ESG consulting and standards firm that works with businesses, investors, governments, and multilateral organisations to deliver practical, effective, and enduring results that enable its clients to succeed. As a Public Benefit Corporation, AccountAbility's mission is to create a positive impact on society through the innovation and advancement of the global sustainability agenda, in addition to delivering strong and consistent operational performance.
AccountAbility operates globally through a network of offices in New York, London, Riyadh, and Dubai. The organisation uniquely provides relevant, practical, and industry-leading Advisory, Standards, and Research services "under one roof". The firm is staffed and led by diverse sustainability experts with specialised degrees and professional experience, with an expansive industry focus including energy and extractives, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, financial services, real estate, and consumer packaged goods, among other sectors.
Guided by a business-centric mindset, AccountAbility is not an advocacy organisation or activist platform. By prioritising relevance and value creation, the firm delivers ESG solutions that ensure resilience, adaptability, and long-term competitive advantage for its clients.
Over the past few years, AccountAbility has demonstrated thought leadership in ESG development across dozens of in-person engagements and published works. In the firm's recent 7 Sustainability Trends 2023 Report, AccountAbility detailed the most forward-looking sustainability trends shaping the business landscape – and how organisations across industries and geographies can channel each trend into meaningful action. For the third consecutive year, the CFI.co judging panel has selected AccountAbility as the global award winner for Best ESG Strategy Development Partner, this time in 2023.
