“Regions Bank has a strong commitment to providing a workplace
where everyone can thrive while serving our customers through a

globally that share a strong commitment to disability inclusion. As

that are taking a proactive role in leading progress towards

About the Disability Equality Index®
The Disability Equality Index has become the leading
independent, third-party resource for the annual benchmarking of
corporate disability inclusion policies and programs and is now
trusted by more than 70% of the United States Fortune 100 and
nearly half of the Fortune 500. Such companies must increasingly
consider how emerging global reporting directives and stakeholder
expectations surrounding social and corporate governance factors
impact their operational, cultural, reputational and financial
performance.
The Disability Equality Index is an objective, reflective,
forward-thinking, and confidential disability rating tool designed
to assist business in advancing inclusion practices. It is a
comprehensive benchmark that helps companies build a roadmap of
measurable, tangible actions across five scored categories: Culture
& Leadership, Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices,
Community Engagement, and Supplier Diversity. Participating
companies receive a score, on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with
those scoring 80 or higher earning the distinction of “Best Places
to Work for Disability Inclusion” for the benchmark year.
Findings from a two-year Global Disability Equality Index pilot
informed the launch of a scored benchmark that opened in 2024 to
seven new countries in addition to the United States. These
include: Brazil, Canada, Germany, India, Japan, the Philippines,
and the United Kingdom. Now in its 10th year, the Disability
Equality Index has grown nearly 7x since 2015, expanding from 80
companies in its first year to 542 in 2024. Collectively, the 2024
edition received 753 submissions spanning the eight benchmarked
countries.
