The ILO Global Business and Disability Network

The project seeks to establish a Secretariat and commence initial activities of the nascent ILO Global Business and Disability Network, a voluntary group of employers’ organizations, multinational companies, existing regional and national employer networks on disability, organizations of disabled people and NGOs. Its overall aim is to promote and facilitate disability diversity in the workforce from the perspectives of both business and human rights cases. The immediate objective is to develop a functioning Network that engages in activities leading to positive changes related to the employment of disabled persons, and/or accessibility of products and services and CSR activities. The Network will work towards achieving its aims through a) sharing of knowledge and information; b) joint tools, products and services; c) increasing the disability inclusion capacity of its members and their networks or staff; and d) establishing linkages between members and with ILO projects and activities.
