Enterprise

Choose this option to benchmark the entirety of your organization’s disability inclusive practices and policies. It’s ideal for companies with complex operations across multiple regions, jurisdictions, or decentralized units operating under consistent policies.

Common examples include national healthcare systems, educational institutions, or companies headquartered and operating primarily in one country and with large, decentralized structures.

Globe icon representing country-level accessibility

Country

Choose this option to assess disability inclusion within a single jurisdiction or policy context. Ideal for organizations whose practices vary by country, this level allows for separate submissions that provide localized insights and internal benchmarked comparisons across markets.
