“Regions Bank has a strong commitment to providing a workplace where everyone can thrive,” said Clara Green, head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Regions. “We are proud of our score of 100, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have more work to do. We want to continue to create a workplace environment where associates of all abilities feel included, and our workforce reflects the communities we serve.”

The Disability Equality Index is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and Disability:IN. Participating companies receive a score on a scale of zero to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.” Since its inception in 2015, participation in the Disability Equality Index has grown six times – from 80 companies in the inaugural year to 485 in 2023.

About the Disability Equality Index

The Disability Equality Index (DEI) is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps companies build a roadmap of measurable, tangible actions that they can take to achieve disability inclusion and equality. Each company receives a score, on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.”

The DEI is a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest disability rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business disability inclusion network, to collectively advance the inclusion of people with disabilities. The organizations are complementary and bring unique strengths that make the project relevant and credible to corporations and the disability community. The tool was developed by the DEI Advisory Committee, a diverse group of business leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates.
