Paul is a Manager at AccountAbility and has been working with firms, sectors, regions and nations to improve productivity through responsible business practices. He works on the Responsible Competitiveness programme, with a special focus on the Country Climate Competitiveness Index - the first systematic effort to quantify the opportunities for 110 nations in a low carbon economy - and the Saudi Responsible Competitiveness Index. Paul has also worked on the AccountAbility Rating™, an annual assessment of corporate accountability that uses publicly-available information to determine how companies are embedding responsible business practices into the way they do business. In 2008, the Rating analysed 450 companies - including the world’s 100 biggest corporations and the largest firms in 8 countries (South Korea, Italy, Portugal, Greece, Turkey, Bulgaria, Hungary and Russia).
In addition, Paul has been involved with two projects - the ANCOBEST which presented an analysis of how 10 European countries can mitigate the negative impacts of job losses and Towards Sustainable Outsourcing: A Responsible Competitiveness Agenda for IT-Enabled Services which maps progress in countries like China, India and Brazil towards promoting social and environmental spill-overs from outsourced jobs.
