About the Valuable 500
Launched by social entrepreneur and activist Caroline Casey at
the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting in January 2019, The
Valuable 500 aims to put disability on the global business
leadership agenda. The Valuable 500 was created by Binc, the
organization founded by Caroline Casey in 2015, with a mission to
ignite a historic global movement for a new age of business
inclusion—capitalizing on Casey’s 18-year track record of success
engaging over 450 organizations. The campaign has won three awards:
a Cannes Lion, D&AD, and a BIMA. Our goal is to persuade 500
multinational companies that have at least 1,000 employees to make
a public commitment to advance disability inclusion in their
organization. By engaging the most influential business leaders and
brands, we want to create a tipping point within business that
unlocks the business, social, and economic value of the 1.3 billion
people living with disabilities around the world, and the millions
of us who will become disabled over time. We believe that if
business takes a lead, society and government will follow, and
truly inclusive businesses can build truly inclusive societies.
