RRD Receives Top Score of 100 on the 2023 Disability Equality Index (DEI)

RRD recognized as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion” by Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD)

R.R. Donnelley & Sons Company (RRD) received a top score of 100 on the 2023 Disability Equality Index (DEI) from Disability:IN and the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD). Top-scoring businesses – scoring 80 or higher – are recognized as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.”

The Disability Equality Index® (DEI) is the world’s most comprehensive benchmarking tool for the Fortune 1000 and Am Law 2001 to measure disability workplace inclusion against competitors. By taking the DEI, companies can demonstrate stakeholder commitment to disability inclusion and equality, as well as broader social issues.

“At RRD, we recognize the important role people with disabilities play in a diverse and inclusive environment,” said Marsha McDermott, Director, DEI/EEO Compliance at RRD. “We strive to create a workplace in which behaviors, practices and policies promote respect, inclusion, utilization, career development, and success across all forms of diversity.”

McDermott adds, “The DEI has supported our ongoing efforts to advance diversity, equity, and inclusion. We’re thrilled to be recognized with a top score of 100 and we’ll continue to advance disability inclusion and raise the bar each year as new best practices emerge.”

Globally, people with disabilities represent over one billion people. Disabilities intersect with age, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and religion.

In 2023, 485 corporations, including 71 Fortune 100, 207 Fortune 500, and 249 Fortune 1000 utilized the DEI to benchmark their disability inclusion efforts.

"These top-scoring companies understand deeply that people with disabilities represent a tremendous source of talent and innovation for their workforce and market share for their brands, and they are trailblazers in our journey towards full disability inclusion in business," said Maria Town, President and CEO of AAPD.

The 2023 DEI measured: Culture & Leadership; Enterprise-Wide Access; Employment Practices (Benefits, Recruitment, Employment, Education, Retention & Advancement, Accommodations); Community Engagement; Supplier Diversity; Non-U.S. Operations (Non- Weighted).
