Accountability Counsel is a brand that amplifies the voices of communities worldwide to protect their human rights and the environment. As advocates for those affected by internationally financed projects, they use community-driven and policy-level strategies to ensure access to justice. The brand aims to bridge the barriers faced by communities in seeking justice, as they often lack information, political power, and financial resources.

Accountability Counsel holds nearly $12 trillion accountable to global human rights and environmental standards each year, working towards systemic change. Their values include being accountable to their mission, operating in a diverse, equitable, and inclusive manner, sharing knowledge, being remedy-oriented, respecting human dignity and rights, and focusing on sustainability. They offer programs that assist communities in using accountability offices, advocate for fair and transparent accountability systems, conduct research, and provide resources for accountability in international finance.

Accountability Counsel was founded in 2009 by Natalie Bridgeman Fields with the goal of promoting environmental and human rights accountability in international finance and development
