XPO Logistics, Inc. (NYSE: XPO), a leading global provider of
freight transportation services, has received a Disability Equality
Index (DEI) top score of 90 out of 100 for its commitment to
disability workplace inclusion.
The DEI is the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for
companies to measure disability workplace inclusion against
competitors. It was launched in 2015 by Disability:IN and The
American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD).
LaQuenta Jacobs, chief diversity officer for XPO Logistics,
said, “Participating in the Disability Equality Index is important
because it helps measure our current progress as a diverse and
equitable workplace. We’re committed to continuous improvement in
this area to ensure our employees thrive as their authentic
selves.”
“The Disability Equality Index shines a spotlight on companies
that believe they have a stake in creating a more equitable society
for people with disabilities,” said Maria Town, president and chief
executive officer of AAPD. “It’s a conduit for our work championing
disability rights for the 60 million Americans with disabilities
and knocking down barriers to employment, technology and
healthcare.”
XPO supports the hiring of employees regardless of age, race,
ethnic origin, sexual orientation, region, veteran status or
disability. Its commitment to disability inclusion includes
partnerships and joint-ventures for recruitment, inclusive
workplace policies, mentors and workplace support and equal
