The full sentence is 'this lays out the high standards which we must all hold ourselves accountable to' - I can maybe use 'ställas till svars för', but I can't figure out how to word the sentence!

som vi alla måste leva upp till
Or "som vi alla ansvarar för att följa", "som var och en av oss ansvarar för att följa", "som vi alla ska följa", "som vi alla har att rätta oss efter"...
"ställas till svars för" is to be held accountable in an adversarial sense. Your boss will "ställa dig till svars för" an error you make. But here the accountability is more abstract, so a loose periphrase that catches the gist is OK.
