AA1000 Stakeholder Engagement Standard

This standard from the AccountAbility Standards Board can help you understand what good-quality stakeholder engagement is and how to do it. Section 1 outlines the purpose and scope of the standard; Section 2 covers the standard’s accountability principles and how to integrate them across governance, strategy, and management; Section 3 demonstrates how to set the purpose and scope of your stakeholder engagement; and Section 4 explains the four key steps of the engagement process – Plan, Prepare, Implement, and Review. This framework will be most useful to community relations teams and anyone seeking to better understand the perspective and needs of relevant stakeholders.
