🌟 Recognizing Disability as a Sustainability Issue 🌟 Exciting to share some important updates on how disability inclusion is being recognized as a key aspect of corporate sustainability. 🔹 Importance of Disability: Disability is now acknowledged as a crucial sustainability issue for companies. This means that businesses must integrate disability inclusion into their sustainability and corporate social responsibility strategies. 🔹 Impact on Companies: New governmental directives require companies to implement accountability mechanisms to ensure the inclusion of people with disabilities. These measures will affect all companies operating in the European Union, including many large U.S. companies. 🔹 Specific Measures: Companies will need to adapt their practices and policies to comply with new accessibility and sustainability regulations. This includes workplace accessibility, product and service adaptation, and promoting an inclusive environment. 🔹 Expected Benefits: These measures are expected to not only improve the inclusion of people with disabilities but also bring long-term economic and social benefits. Incorporating disability as a central aspect of sustainability can enhance corporate reputation and attract a more diverse customer base.

There are an estimated 2.1 million Australians of working age who have a disability but only 48% of those are employed. At KPMG we believe empowering people with disability means removing barriers and creating a culture for everyone to thrive. Today, we are incredibly proud to launch our second Action and Inclusion plan. Developed in collaboration with the Australian Disability Network and drawing on internal feedback, our three-year plan is an evolution of the work started in our first plan and accelerates the removal of barriers impacting our people with disability. The new plan will focus our work on uplifting the career development of people with disability, improving the accessibility of our end-to-end recruitment processes, and is a multi-year approach to enhancing the accessibility of our technology and deepening our relationships with clients to progress disability inclusion across corporate Australia. We asked a few of our people to share their journey as our people with disability at KPMG and what this new plan means to them, you can read their full stories in our plan: https://lnkd.in/gygDvyAK

We are delighted to launch our BPP Disability Inclusion Guide, which has been designed to help businesses integrate disability inclusion into their operations. Why is this important? One in six people globally have a disability, with most people experiencing a disability in their lifetimes, even temporarily, due to injuries, illnesses or other life events. Disability inclusive businesses generally: 🌟 are more innovative 🌟 cultivate higher employee morale 🌟 tap into a broader and more diverse talent and supplier pool. It makes financial sense too. A 2018 study by Accenture found that companies that champion disability inclusion achieve, on average, 28% higher revenue and a 30% higher profit margins than their less-inclusive peers. In fact, the International Labour Organisation calculates that excluding people with disabilities costs countries 3 to 7% of annual GDP. The BPP Disability Inclusion Guide highlights the benefits of disability inclusion and provides practical steps to achieve a more inclusive business, from employees to customers and suppliers. 🔎 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/gtnxcTh8
