Leading companies with comprehensive disability hiring programs

Leading companies with comprehensive disability hiring programs

The companies below have publicly described programs that help people with disabilities enter, remain in, or advance at work. They span technology, finance, retail, consulting, and manufacturing. This is not a definitive ranking: a prominent hiring program does not, by itself, prove that every employee has an accessible workplace or an equal chance of promotion.The strongest policies address the whole employment journey.

MyDoom: approximately $38 billionFirst detected in 2004, MyDoom spread through email attachments and infected computers at remarkable…

Leading countries with advanced corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting

Leading countries with advanced corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting

The countries with the most advanced corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies do more than encourage companies to publish sustainability reports. They set expectations for how businesses manage human rights, labor conditions, climate risks, corruption, and board accountability—and, increasingly, require companies to explain what they have done.There is no universally accepted ranking. Laws differ in scope, enforcement, and results, while European Union rules continue to evolve. The ten countries below stand out for their combination of corporate obligations, disclosure requirements, and public scrutiny. They are presented in alphabetical order, not as a score-based league table.1. AustraliaAustralia has paired supply-chain transparency with…
