CHICAGO, July 20,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:
CAG), one of North America's
leading branded food companies, today announced it has been
recognized as one of the "Best Places to Work for Disability
Inclusion" by The Disability Equality Index® (DEI), the world's
most comprehensive benchmarking tool for the Fortune 1000 and Am
Law 20011 to measure disability workplace inclusion
against competitors.
The Disability Equality Index (DEI) is a comprehensive
benchmarking tool that helps companies build a roadmap of
measurable, tangible actions that they can take to achieve
disability inclusion and equality. Each company receives a score,
on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those earning 80 and above
recognized as a "Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion."
"I am proud of what the Conagra team has accomplished and we
remain highly motivated to foster an inclusive and equitable
workplace," said Henry Jones, Senior
Director of Diversity and Inclusion at Conagra Brands. "We are
focused on driving intentional outcomes that reflect our values and
have a tangible impact within our workforce and in our
communities."
The DEI is a joint initiative of the American Association of
People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation's largest disability
rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business
disability inclusion network, to collectively advance the inclusion
of people with disabilities.
"Disability inclusion is a rapidly expanding aspect of corporate
culture, and it's gratifying to partner with 415 companies on the
2022 Disability Equality Index," said Jill
Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN. "These
top-scoring companies not only excel in disability inclusion, many
are also adopting emerging trends and pioneering measures that can
move the disability agenda from accommodation to inclusion and
ultimately, genuine belonging."
"There is no single best way to practice disability inclusion,
however, the companies taking the DEI share the desire to create a
workplace that fosters the concept of bringing your whole self to
the office," said Maria Town,
President and CEO of AAPD. "We look forward to working with all of
the participants to help identify meaningful ways to build upon
their current practices as we continue on the disability inclusion
journey together."
