The score range for the Disability Equality Index is zero (0) to 100, with 100 being the highest score possible. Scores are in increments of 10. Top-scoring companies that have a score of 80 or higher are publicly recognized by their company name and score through social media, press releases, listing on the Disability:IN and/or American Association of People with Disabilities websites, at the Disability:IN Global Conference & Expo, and by other methods.
The breakdown of a company’s score is not published. For example, if a company scores 90, it is only stated that the company scored 90. It is not disclosed in which category the 10 points were not earned. Companies that score below 80 are kept confidential; their score and participation in the Disability Equality Index is not made public. Only authorized company representatives are provided with company information such as scored reports and scorecards. In general, Disability Equality Index results are reported in aggregate, and all company benchmark responses are used to report aggregate results, regardless of the benchmark score.
