WHAT WE ASKED In this study, conducted in partnership with Disability: IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), we set out to investigate: Is there a positive correlation between how inclusive a company is of persons with disabilities and its financial performance? To find out, we took an in-depth look at companies participating in the Disability Equality Index* over the past four years. *The Disability Equality Index is an annual transparent benchmarking tool conducted by Disability:IN and the AAPD that gives U.S. businesses an objective score on their disability inclusion policies and practices.
