5 power bases of leaders to influence others.

It is worth noting that, in sustainability discourse, stakeholder engagement (together with partnerships) is often suggested as a solution for almost every challenge. However, when it lacks clear purpose or careful design, this engagement can be frustrating and counterproductive for all concerned.

AccountAbility’s work is based on the AA1000 Series of Standards, which are founded on the Principles of:

Inclusivity – People should have a say in the decisions that impact them.

Materiality – Decision makers should identify and be clear about the sustainability topics that matter.

Responsiveness – Organisations should act transparently on material sustainability topics and their related impacts.

Impact – Organisations should monitor, measure and be accountable for how their actions affect their broader ecosystems.

Many companies have embraced reporting in more detail, focusing specifically on the IIRC and Integrated Reporting, which Deloitte describes as a “globally accepted framework for a process that results in communications by an organisation about value creation over time” (Deloitte, 2017). However, from a communications perspective, Yeomans (2013b) notes that “even those companies that demonstrate real panache in their sustainability communications fail to make the best use of the research, data and information that goes into their sustainability report”. As such, in recent years, companies have been using more creative approaches and accessible channels for conveying their sustainability story and performance.
