The DEI was launched in 2015 in the United States as a joint initiative of Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and is acknowledged today as the most robust disability inclusion assessment tool in business. By completing the DEI, companies can demonstrate their commitment to disability inclusion and equality, as well as broader social issues.

在全球範圍內，殘疾人代表13人。殘疾是人類經歷的自然組成部分，它跨越了年齡、種族、性別、性別認同、種族、性取向、社會經濟地位和其他人口統計學的界限。

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.
關於殘疾人平等指數
殘疾人平等指數已成爲企業殘疾人包容政策和計劃年度基準的主要獨立第三方資源，現在受到70％以上的美國財富100強企業和近一半的財富500強公司的信任。這些公司必須越來越多地考慮新出現的全球報告指令和利益相關者對社會和公司治理因素的期望如何影響其運營、文化、聲譽和財務業績。
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.
殘疾人平等指數是一種客觀、反思、前瞻性和保密的殘疾評級工具，旨在幫助企業推進包容性實踐。它是一項全面的基準，可幫助公司在五個評分類別中制定可衡量的切實行動路線圖：文化與領導力、企業全方位準入、僱傭實踐、社區參與和供應商多元化。參與的公司將獲得零（0）至100的分數，得分爲80分或以上的公司將獲得基準年度 “殘疾人包容的最佳工作場所” 榮譽。
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.
一項爲期兩年的全球殘疾人平等指數試點項目的調查結果爲分數基準的推出提供了依據，該基準於2024年向除美國以外的七個新國家開放。其中包括：巴西、加拿大、德國、印度、日本、菲律賓和英國。殘疾人平等指數現已進入第10個年頭，自2015年以來增長了近7倍，從第一年的80家公司擴大到2024年的542家。2024 年版共收到來自八個基準國家的753份參賽作品。
