This is the place to post any comments you have around the revision process as well as wider issues relating to current practice and the future of stakeholder engagement. We look forward to thoughts and comments you may have.
This website, launched in October 2009, is where you can follow and participate in the much-anticipated revision of the AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard (AA1000SES). The AA1000SES originally published in 2005 as an exposure draft, is the first international standard for stakeholder engagement and the revision process aims to make the next edition more accessible, practical and strategically applicable, demonstrating the value of robust engagement and articulating how this can be achieved. Your participation will help establish a new international benchmark.

From 10 March 2010, it will no longer be possible to comment on or edit the first draft AA1000SES, which has been undergoing revision on this site and through the global consultation workshops since October 2009. The next step is for the AA1000SES Technical Committee to meet in London on 24 March 2010. The AA1000SES Technical Committee will review all input to date and a second consultation draft for public review will be prepared and posted on this site.
