As CSOs we claim to work primarily for our key stakeholders. While business wants to generate shareholder value, we seek to create stakeholder value. But do we sufficiently live up to this promise of putting stakeholders first in all we do? Do we really offer key stakeholders the opportunity to actively and continuously engage and determine the outcome of our activities for the better?
Devising policies and processes is an important first step; however, it will only bear fruit when meaningful stakeholder engagement at all stages of work is deeply embedded in organisational culture.
45,000+ organizations operating in 180+ countries are using the Global Standard to guide their work and put people at the heart of their accountability measures. Now, the 10 cohosts are working to review and refresh the Standard to ensure its fit for the future too. If you work in or with civil society, and believe our accountability practice should center the people we work for and with, we want to hear from you.
