Disability inclusion is increasingly gaining importance in corporate sustainability practices, including in Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG) efforts and reporting. Further, investors are increasingly considering non-financial factors and sustainability considerations - also within ESG frameworks - in their decision-making processes. This session will also see the launch of the ILO GBDN guide “Putting the I in ESG: Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities as Strategic Advantage of Sustainability Practices for Corporates and Investors”.
