Companies that Lead in Disability Inclusion Outperform Peers Financially
This morning, Disability:IN and Accenture announced the release of our new report: The Disability Inclusion Imperative. Building on the 2018 landmark report on disability inclusion at work in the United States, the 2023 update to the business case is enlightening.
Companies that lead their peers in disability inclusion realize considerable financial gains: they earn 1.6x more revenue, 2.6x more net income, and 2x more economic profit than other companies in the Disability Equality Index.
"People with disabilities are a tremendous source of talent and innovation as well as market share. Last year, 485 companies leveraged the DEI to benchmark their inclusion efforts and build for sustainable, long-term performance. We encourage companies to measure their progress and use the data to identify tangible ways to advance disability inclusion across their enterprise."

"Disability inclusion is a topic close to my heart, and it is imperative, both from a business and societal aspect, to build an accessible, inclusive environment where all our people can belong and thrive."
