Glasshouse Partnership has been selected by AccountAbility, the global sustainability standards body and policy think-tank, to manage its international media, political relations and influence networks. AccountAbility sets the AA1000 series of sustainability standards which organizations can use as social and environment reporting guidelines. Glasshouse’s role includes promoting the adoption of its standards, as well as AccountAbility’s agenda-setting work with government, assurance bodies and NGOs.
The work will also include managing public profile for AccountAbility’s president, Anwar Ibrahim, the former deputy prime minister of Malaysia, and AccountAbility’s CEO, Simon Zadek. Simon Zadek said: “We wanted a communications partner who really understood AccountAbility’s business and whose vision and networks were aligned with ours.”
Tim Kitchin, Glasshouse’s founder-partner commented: “AccountAbility exists to find better ways to hold decision-makers to account. Both in the UK, and globally, there has never been a more timely mission.”
