About the 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 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.

《残疾人平等指数》已成为公司残疾人包容政策和项目的年度基准评估的领先独立第三方资源，现在已获得70％以上的美国财富100强和近一半的财富500强信任。这些公司必须越来越考虑新兴的全球报告指引和社会、公司治理因素对其运营、文化、声誉和财务绩效的影响。
The Disability Equality Index is an objective, reflective, forward-thinking, and confidential disability rating tool designed to assist business in advancing inclusion practices. It is a comprehensive benchmark that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions across five scored categories: Culture & Leadership, Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices, Community Engagement, and Supplier Diversity. 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.
残疾平等指数是一个客观、反思性、前瞻性和保密性的残疾评级工具，旨在帮助企业推进包容实践。这是一个综合的基准，帮助公司在五个评分类别中建立可衡量、有形的路线图：文化与领导能力、企业范围内的通达性、就业惯例、社区参与和供应商多样性。参与的公司将获得一个0至100的分数，其中得分80及以上的公司将因本基准年份而成为“残疾人包容性最佳工作场所”获得殊荣。
Findings from a two-year Global Disability Equality Index pilot informed the launch of a scored benchmark that opened in 2024 to seven new countries in addition to the United States. These include: Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Japan, the Philippines, and the United Kingdom. Now in its 10th year, the Disability Equality Index has grown nearly 7x since 2015, expanding from 80 companies in its first year to 542 in 2024. Collectively, the 2024 edition received 753 submissions spanning the eight benchmarked countries.
