What it reported doing in 2025

Disability: in programs: disability index: the disability index has become the leading independent, third-party resource for the annual benchmarking of corporate disability inclusion policies and programs. It has been trusted by more than 70% of the united states 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 index has grown nearly 6x from 80 companies in the inaugural year to 428 in 2025. The 2025 disability index offered scored benchmarks in eight different countries for the second straight year. This international focus included brazil, canada, germany, india, japan, the philippines, the united kingdom, and the united states, and together total submissions across all eight countries in 2025 was 655.

It is a comprehensive benchmark that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions across six scored categories: culture, leadership, enterprise-wide access, employment practices, community engagement, and supplier inclusion. Participating companies receive a score, on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those scoring 80 or higher earning the distinction of "best places to work for disability inclusion" for the benchmark year.
