Disability-related transparency is on the verge of widespread global adoption for both voluntary and mandatory sustainability reporting. Market pressures and legislative modernization are driving disability indicators into public workforce disclosures. This session examines new research from Disability:IN that illuminates the state of disability reporting among European, Global, and United States Fortune 500 companies as disclosed in companies’ most recent annual sustainability reports and what you can do to stay current. 
 
Learning Objectives:  

  1. Dive into disability reporting trends and insights from the European, Global, and U.S. Fortune 500 lists.  
  2. Examine the various ways in which disability is reported on such as qualitative and quantitative disclosures across workforce initiatives, inclusive procurement, and accessibility programs.  
  3. Develop a foundational knowledge of how market forces and legislative updates are requiring companies to build organizational capacity around disability data – and what you can do to keep up-to-date.
