The Disability Equality Index will celebrate its 10th year in 2024 with the launch of scored benchmarks outside of the United States for the first time. A two-year global pilot in 2021-22 that spanned 98 companies and 66 countries revealed compelling insights and illuminated the need for country-specific benchmarks that consider localized factors such as legal and regulatory frameworks, cultural and societal attitudes and behaviors towards disability, and market factors that impact how business is done.
Each of the following countries will be available for registration for a scored benchmark as part of the 2024 Disability Equality Index.
- Brazil
- Canada
- Germany
- India
- Japan
- Philippines
- United Kingdom
- United States
Participating companies can register for one country or up to all eight countries which span the regions of Asia Pacific, Europe, North America and South America. Each country benchmark is independently evaluated and scored and will not impact scoring for other registered countries; if a company registers for three countries, such as the United States, India and Canada, that country will receive three separate scores – one each for the U.S., India and Canada.
