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.
Anyone can view the standard, but you need to be registered to comment or edit the standard, click the link at the top of the page to register. You will receive an email confirmation when your account has been activated.

As of the beginning of July 2010, the second consultation draft AA1000SES is no longer available for public comment. Please do not submit any edits or comments on the draft standard on this site. Any comments that are left after the beginning of July will not be considered by the AA1000SES technical committee when they meet to review the progress of the revision on the 15th and 16th July. More details on the outputs from the meeting as well as dates for the third cycle of review will be announced soon, so keep checking this page for updates.
AccountAbility will continue to ensure participation across all stakeholder groups during the third phase of review. The aim of the revision is to move the AA1000SES beyond a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) process and make it strategically relevant for all aspects of business.
