The Disability Equality Index (DEI) is a comprehensive benchmarking tool that assists businesses in developing a roadmap of measurable, actionable steps to achieve disability inclusion and equality. On a scale of zero (0) to 100, each employer earns a score, with those scoring 80 or higher recognised as a "Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion."

Amazon receives a perfect score of 100 on the Disability Equality Index for The Second Year in a Row

Amazon Official: A group of Amazon employees after collecting the honor for our top score of 100 on the Disability Equality Index at the Disability: IN's 2023 Global Conference & Expo.


The Disability Equality Initiative (DEI) is a collaborative effort between the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation's biggest disability rights organisation, and Disability: IN, the worldwide business disability inclusion network, to enhance the inclusion of people with disabilities. The organisations complement each other and add unique qualities to the initiative, making it relevant and credible to corporations and the disabled community. The DEI Advisory Committee, a broad coalition of corporate leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates, created the tool.

Amazon wants to be the most inclusive and accessible employer for persons with disabilities on the planet. Amazon's Global Disability Inclusion Office is fascinated with the employee experience, which is in our DNA. Disability: IN's Disability Equality Index motivates us to improve our work month after month.

One Medical’s mission is to make healthcare more accessible and affordable through in-person, digital and virtual care services.

Its offer allows healthcare providers across the US to integrate its services to enable patients to schedule appointments, renew prescriptions and access health records online.

Through the agreement, which is still subject to customary closing conditions, Amazon will acquire One Medical for 18 dollars per share in an all-cash transaction, including the organisation’s net debt.

On completion, Amir Dan Rubin will remain as CEO of One Medical.

In a release, SVP of Amazon Health Services, Neil Lindsay, said that health care is in need of reinvention, adding that Amazon sees “lots of opportunity to both improve the quality of the experience and give people back valuable time in their days”.

Lindsay continued: “Together with One Medical’s human-centred and technology-powered approach to health care, we believe we can and will help more people get better care, when and how they need it. We look forward to delivering on that long-term mission.”
