List Notes: The Accountability Rating measures the extent to which companies put responsible practices at the heart of their business and evaluates companies across the following six areas: stakeholder engagement, strategy, governance, performance management, public disclosure, and assurance. The rating is applied to the Fortune 100 companies.
- According to AccountAbility, US companies generally score poorly on stakeholder engagement, non-financial reporting and third-party assurance. They are also far less likely than European counterparts to comply with internationally recognized labour, human rights and environmental standards such as the UN Global Compact's Ten Principles.
