Why a tool on disability inclusion?Compelling Disability Statistics:
Third largest market segment in the U.S. with 57 million people – 1 out of 5 Americans with disabilities (U.S. Census); More than 1 in 3 American households surveyed had at least one member who identified as having a disability (Nielsen 2016);
There are more than 1 billion individuals with disabilities in the world, representing 15% of the world’s population (United Nations Enable); Slide12

Foundation of the DEIFortune 1000 companies realize environmental, social and governance factors impact their management, culture, brand and financial well-being.
Yet have no comprehensive benchmarking tool.
The DEI was founded by a diverse group of business leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates. The DEI provides an objective, reflective and forward-thinking disability inclusion rating tool.Benefits:Recognition
