MEMBERS WHO JOINED IN 2019
The ILO Global Business and Disability Network (GBDN) is a unique employer-led initiative that works to promote the inclusion of people with disabilities in workplaces around the world.
Our members include multinational enterprises, national business and disability networks, and international not-for-profit and disabled people’s organisations. Through their work, our members demonstrate the clear business benefits of employing people with disabilities and highlight the valuable contributions they bring workplaces of all kinds.
In 2015, the GBDN introduced its Charter which commits the company signatories to support its 10 principles which provide a framework towards full disability inclusion. The Charter is the core document of the GBDN and it serves as a map to guide the companies to reach both business success and equal opportunity and inclusion for persons with disabilities in the workplace.
