GHD partners with Disability: IN to elevate disability inclusion and accessibility
Global professional services company GHD continues its efforts to develop an inclusive environment for people with disabilities, with Ashley Wright, CEO signing the ‘CEO Letter on Disability Inclusion’.
The Disability:IN CEO Letter on Disability Inclusion is designed for CEOs to take action to build inclusive, accessible, and equitable workplaces through their company’s participation in the Disability Equality Index.
This partnership aligns with GHD’s Global Inclusion and Diversity strategy of prioritising and fostering an environment where everyone can thrive. The partnership with Disability:IN will provide resources and expertise as GHD continues to expand the opportunities for people with disabilities.
“Our commitment and goal of making our organisation accessible, inclusive and equitable to everyone is our priority. Partnering with Disability:IN as our knowledge partner will allow us to expand our I&D journey and commitment to disability inclusion,” Ashley Wright shares.
In its commitment to change, GHD has also established a global accessibility working group to help implement best practices, including on client projects.
“Diversity, equity and inclusion are the keys to creating sustainable companies, and by encouraging CEOs to make disability inclusion a business priority, these 100 signatories are joining IN to positively transform lives and create financial and social impact,” said Jill Houghton, President and CEO, Disability:IN.
