via Disability Equality Index
The Disability Equality Index has become the leading independent, third-party resource for the annual benchmarking of corporate disability inclusion policies and programs, and is now trusted by more than 70% of the Fortune 100 and nearly half of the Fortune 500. Such companies must increasingly consider how emerging global reporting directives and stakeholder expectations surrounding social and corporate governance factors impact their operational, cultural, reputational and financial performance. Since its inception in 2015, participation in the Disability Equality Index has grown almost 7x – from 80 companies in the inaugural year to 542 in 2024.
WWT scores 100 on the Disability Equality Index
A score of 100 on the Disability Equality Index does not indicate or imply perfection. There is always room to advance disability inclusion regardless of one's score. A score of 100 indicates adherence to many leading disability inclusion practices.
