By creating this global directory, we will be able to further support Valuable Businesses 500 in advancing their inclusion and accessibility to work”
The Valuable Directory is the latest tool provided to help members successfully solve this problem. $13 trillion market and benefit from the deep talent pool and diversity of thought of people with disabilities as employees and customers.
Caroline CaseyFounder, the Valuable 500 commented:
“I am delighted that more than half of the companies featured in our directory are led by women. This year’s International Women’s Day theme sends an important message about ‘breaking down prejudice’. If we ever want to achieving true equality in all societies, cultural and commercial, then means breaking down all the prejudices that have become common practice. For me, this goes beyond a singular gender barrier to the multi-faceted reality that is often overlooked – like disability. We cannot have a hierarchy of inclusion or a siled approach. Inclusion must be for all or not at all. Inclusion cannot be chosen and mixed.”
