On the Verge is the first in a series of three analyses on the state of global reporting on disability in leading businesses’ sustainability reports. The first report finds that 65% of the U.S. Fortune 500 are currently reporting on disability, though the nature of reporting is uneven, nominal, and varied. Ten (10%) of the Fortune 500 are disclosing self-identified workforce participation statistics as part of their voluntary human capital disclosures. The fact that 65% of the Fortune 500 have deemed disability a material consideration for stakeholders means that disability is on the verge of widespread adoption as market pressures and regulatory modernization drive disability into public workforce disclosures.
