Over the last decade, the American Association of People with
Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest disability rights
organization, and Disability:IN, a non-profit organization that
advocates for business disability inclusion worldwide, have jointly
administered the DEI. The index is a comprehensive benchmark that
scores and reviews a company’s efforts toward fostering disability
inclusion.
"It is an honor to sign Disability:IN’s ‘CEO Letter on
Disability Inclusion,’” said U. S. Steel President and CEO, David
B. Burritt. "It is incumbent upon us all to persistently champion
inclusion and advancement for people with disabilities in the
places where we live and work."
U. S. Steel's commitment to advancing disability inclusion is
supported by the dedicated members and leaders of the employee-led

initiatives, such as the Disability Fundamentals Training program,
have enabled U. S. Steel employees to learn how best to support
their colleagues. The training enhances understanding of disability
etiquette, disclosure, and accommodations among able-bodied
employees, thereby fostering more meaningful interactions with
their colleagues who have disabilities.
"Our performance on the 2023 Disability Equality Index is a
testament to the remarkable leadership of our SteelABILITY Employee
Resource Group. Their advancement of employee inclusivity, support,
and education helps create a culture where everyone belongs," said
Mona Dine, General Manager, Corporate Human Resources & Chief
