Regions Bank Recognized as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion”

Regions earns score of 100 on 2021 Disability Equality Index.

Regions Bank is pleased to announce that it has received a score of 100 on the 2021 Disability Equality Index®, the leading nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion worldwide.

The Disability Equality Index, a joint initiative of the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and Disability:IN, 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 0 to 100, with those earning 80 and above recognized as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.” Of the 319 participating companies, Regions is one of 191 that received a score of 100.

“We are proud to receive this distinction, because disability awareness and accommodation are an important part of Regions’ culture of inclusion,” said Clara Green, head of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for Regions. “However, for as excited as we are about this recognition, we do not consider all of our work to be done in this space. We will use the benchmarking data made available through this survey to continue to propel our efforts forward. At Regions we know that making the world inclusive for all is the right thing to do.”

The Accenture report “Getting to Equal: The Disability Inclusion Advantage,” produced in partnership with Disability:IN and the AAPD, found that companies that offered inclusive working environments for employees with disabilities achieved an average of 28% higher revenue, double the net income, and 30% higher economic profit margins than their peers.

Regions is dedicated to inclusivity and accessibility for its associates as well as its customers. Last year, Regions President and CEO John Turner signed the Valuable 500 Pledge, an initiative of 500 companies across the globe committing to advance disability inclusion in the workplace.

The Regions Foundation, a nonprofit initiative of Regions Bank that supports community investments, recently received the Inclusive Community Development Award from the Center for Disability-Inclusive Community Development. And Regions Bank’s User Experience Team is focused on making banking accessible for all.
