2022 /PRNewswire/ --
- Stellantis repeats as a top scorer on 2022 Disability Equality
Index
- Annual assessment administered by Disability:IN and the
American Association of People with Disabilities and considered
"the most robust disability inclusion assessment tool in
business"
- Top-scoring businesses recognized as Best Places to Work for
Disability Inclusion
- Acknowledgement adds to list of prestigious diversity and
inclusion honors Stellantis has earned in 2022
Stellantis has again earned a top score on the annual Disability
Equality Index (DEI) for 2022.
The DEI is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that helps
companies build focused and measurable strategies that support
disability inclusion and equality in the workplace.
Now in its eighth year, the DEI is administered by Disability:IN
and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and
is considered the most robust disability inclusion assessment tool
in business.
Top-scoring companies represent those businesses that have
invested in accessibility and inclusion across their enterprises
and are recognized as the best places to work for disability
inclusion.
Stellantis also earned a top score on the DEI in 2021.
"Stellantis deeply values the recognition and feedback we
receive from influential organizations like Disability:IN and the
American Association of People with Disabilities," said
Tobin J. Williams, senior vice
president for human resources, Stellantis – North America. "Our company's long-standing,
enterprise-wide commitment to diversity and inclusion fuels a work
culture that enables each of our employees to realize their full
potential, our pursuit of consistently strong business results and
our ability to achieve our long-term strategy as outlined in our
Dare Forward 2030 plan."
The 2022 DEI measured a range of workplace practices, including
culture and leadership; enterprise-wide access, benefits,
recruitment, retention, advancement, accommodations and more.
By earning a top score on the DEI, Stellantis adds to the
impressive list of diversity and inclusion leadership
acknowledgements it has earned in 2022.
These acknowledgements include:
- Noteworthy and Top Supplier Diversity Program ratings from
Diversity Inc.
- Top Corporations for Women's Business Enterprises Resiliency
award from the Women's Business Enterprise National Council
- Winds of Change magazine's list of Top 50 companies recruiting
and supporting the careers of Indigenous STEM professionals
- Excellence in Health and Well-Being and Excellence in Mental
Health awards from the Business Group on Health
An important source of energy driving the company's commitment
to diversity and inclusion are its 11 business resource groups
representing a range of affinity communities, including African
ancestry, Hispanic heritage, Asian culture, LGBTQ+, veterans,
Middle Eastern heritage, employees and families with disabilities,
Native Americans, women and working parents.
Globally, people with disabilities represent more than one
billion people. Disability is a natural part of the human
experience, and it crosses lines of age, ethnicity, gender, gender
identity, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status and
religion.
"Disability inclusion is a rapidly expanding aspect of corporate
culture, and it's gratifying to partner with 415 companies on the
2022 Disability Equality Index," said Jill
Houghton, president and CEO of Disability:IN. "These
top-scoring companies not only excel in disability inclusion, many
are also adopting emerging trends and pioneering measures that can
move the disability agenda from accommodation to inclusion and
ultimately, genuine belonging."

AAPD is a convener, connector, and catalyst for change, increasing
