About the Rating
The Accountability Rating is a tool for measuring the extent to which companies have built responsible practices into the way they do business. The Rating was developed by leading CSR consultancy csrnetwork and international think-tank AccountAbility, and first applied in 2004.
The global Accountability Rating
Every year, we apply the Rating to the world’s largest companies (the Fortune Global 100, or ‘G100’), and the headline results are published in Fortune magazine.
The Rating draws on information companies put into their public reporting, as well as data on their actual social and environmental performance. It rates companies on four ‘domains’: strategy, governance, engagement and impact. Their scores are out of a maximum of 100.
Country ratings
We also publish Accountability Rating country rankings. In 2007, there are rankings for the largest companies in Greece, Hungary Russia, South Africa and Turkey.
