As part of its Be Well. Do Well. ESG platform, Aramark is
committed to enabling equitable outcomes for people, including its
employees, customers, and the communities it serves. Earlier this
year, Aramark was named a Top 50 Employer by CAREERS & the
disABLED Magazine, for the ninth consecutive year, for providing a
positive working environment for people with disabilities. Last
summer, Aramark Chief Executive Officer, John Zillmer, joined a
coalition of 100+ CEOs as a signatory of Disability:IN’s CEO Letter
on Disability Inclusion, showing Aramark’s commitment to advancing
disability inclusion and equality.
“The Disability Equality Index allows us to measure both our
progression and gaps. At Aramark, our vision is to be the most
admired employer and trusted hospitality partner. To achieve this
vision, it is critical we create a welcoming and inclusive culture,
and recruit and advance a diverse workforce that includes people
with disabilities. We recently launched a self-ID campaign
encouraging employees to voluntarily and confidentially
share/update their identities, including our employees with
disabilities. Such efforts will better direct our DEI strategy.
Humanity and respect matter, and that’s why we are honored to again
be recognized,” said Fenimore Fisher, VP of Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion at Aramark.
More than 5,000 employees belong to Aramark’s eleven employee
resource groups (ERGs), including Aramark Thrive, which is
dedicated to the interest of team members who self-identify as
having a disability and for caretakers and advocates of those with
disabilities. Thrive’s mission is to advance acceptance, equity,
allyship, and inclusion of people with disabilities, providing
meaningful opportunities to thrive.
Thrive members are active year-round, supporting disability
organizations such as Special Olympics, Wounded Warrior Project,
Drexel Autism Institute, and many others. Earlier this year,
Aramark employees and Thrive members were #FreezinForAReason as
they participated in Special Olympics Polar Plunges around the
country. Thrive also recently partnered with the Drexel Autism
Institute, during Disability Employment Awareness Month, to offer
career opportunities to people with disabilities. Thrive is
currently in the process of expanding globally, with its first
international hub being established in Latin America.
“Businesses have the power to drive the global advancement of
disability inclusion, and we’re thrilled to see more companies than
ever leverage the Disability Equality Index to measure their
progress. We recognize these top-scoring companies as a ‘Best Place
to Work for Disability Inclusion’ for their passion and efforts to
lead the way in creating greater equity for people with
disabilities in the workplace, marketplace, and supply chain,” said
Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN.
About the Disability Equality Index 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”.
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. The organizations are complimentary
and bring unique strengths that make the project relevant and
credible to corporations and the disability community. The tool was
developed by the DEI Advisory Committee, a diverse group of
business leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates. Learn
