Regions earns score of 100 on 2022 Disability
Equality Index.
Regions Bank is pleased to announce that it has received the
highest possible score of 100 on the 2022 Disability Equality
Index® (DEI), the leading nonprofit resource for business
disability inclusion worldwide. Regions has been named a “Best
Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” for the second year in a
row.
The Disability Equality Index was launched in 2015 by
Disability:IN and The American Association of People with
Disabilities (AAPD) and is acknowledged today as the most robust
disability inclusion assessment tool in business. Participating
companies receive a score on a scale of 0 to 100, with those
earning 80 and above recognized as a “Best Place to Work for
Disability Inclusion.”
“Disability awareness and accommodation are an important part of
Regions’ culture of inclusion and belonging, and we’re proud to
receive this distinction for the second year,” said Clara Green,
head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Regions. “At Regions we
know that making the workplace inclusive for all is the right thing
to do, and we will continue to work toward creating an inclusive
environment where all can thrive and prosper.”
Globally, people with disabilities represent over one billion
people. Disability is a natural part of the human experience, and
it crosses lines of age, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race,
sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and religion.
“Disability inclusion is a rapidly expanding aspect of corporate
culture, and it’s gratifying to partner with 415 companies on the
2022 Disability Equality Index,” said Jill Houghton, President and
CEO of Disability:IN. “These top-scoring companies not only excel
in disability inclusion, many are also adopting emerging trends and
pioneering measures that can move the disability agenda from
accommodation to inclusion and ultimately, genuine belonging.”
Regions’ outreach includes work both inside and outside of the
company:
- In 2021, Regions continued to provide associates with the
opportunity to self-identify as having a disability.
- Regions has a dedicated Disability Services and Outreach
Manager who manages external and internal outreach efforts.
- Every year Regions celebrates National Disability Employment
Awareness Month by hosting educational events for associates.
- Regions’ commitment includes raising awareness of autism

employment.
- Regions is dedicated to inclusivity and accessibility for its
customers, providing accessible products and services, both in
person and online.
- In April, Regions partnered with United Ability to host a
hands-on financial education tour for Birmingham, Alabama-area

for certified diverse suppliers, including those that are owned and
controlled by minorities, women, veterans, disabled individuals,
and LGBTQ+ individuals.
