It is estimated that 15% of the global population are people with disabilities and this number significantly increases to 53% when families of those living with disabled people with disability are taken into account. Around the world, people with disabilities face countless challenges on a daily basis. In addition to physical and societal barriers, they often experience discrimination and exclusion – which is why it’s so important to ensure that they have a voice in society.

The Valuable 500 is a global initiative that’s working to do just that: give a voice to people with disabilities. Founded by social entrepreneur Caroline Casey the Valuable 500, is the largest community of Global CEOs committed to disability inclusion in business.

The Valuable 500 was launched at the World Economic Forum in 2019 and some of the biggest global businesses have joined the campaign for inclusion. On International Women’s Day 2022, the Valuable 500, launched the world’s first independently expert reviewed global directory of B2B consultants and service providers specialized in disability inclusion and accessibility. It is a global business collective made up of 500 CEO’s and their companies, innovating together for disability inclusion.
