NEW YORK and LONDON, October 12, 2021 /3BL Media/ - The CFI.co Judges Panel have conferred on AccountAbility the Professional Services Award for Best ESG Strategy Development Partner - Global 2021.

It was announced this morning that AccountAbility has been awarded Best ESG Strategy Development Partner - Global 2021 by Capital Finance International (CFI.co), a London-based print journal and online resource that reports on business, economics and finance.
