Abstract

The incorporation of People with Disability (PWD) in organizations is a subject taken up by international organizations, such as the European Union and the United Nations, which has had subsequent consequences in Spain with the development of legislation and specific initiatives. In this paper we have considered the concept of disability as part of diversity and, above all, as a fundamental subject of human rights and justice, which has allowed us to include the collective of PWD among the stakeholders of companies. The research on the incorporation of disability as an integral part of the policies of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in companies is very recent, although the term Corporate Social Responsibility and Disability is already used. The main objective of this paper is to analyze the commitment with PWD of Spanish companies considered socially responsible by the sustainability indices used. We have included in four large dimensions (Stakeholders, Visibility, Human Resources and Accessibility) the indicators that have allowed us to analyze the information on PWD published by these companies in their sustainability reports or similar documents accessible through their websites. The results suggest that the companies are more concerned about improving their image towards the exterior than for the commitment with their own employees, which is consistent with the dimension Visibility being where the companies carry out more actions in favor of PWD.

  8. The SWC originated in Spain in the year 1985 as an employment formula for the PWD, with its main objective being to promote the labor and social integration of this collective. In accordance with RD 364/2005, one of the alternative measures that Spanish companies can adopt in order to fulfil the current regulations and cover the personnel quota of PWD are the actions carried out with these centers.

The indices provide an effective engagement platform for companies who want to adopt sustainable best practices. For further information, you can check: http://www.sustainability-indices.com/.

  11. The FTSE4Good Index Series is designed to measure the performance of companies demonstrating strong Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) practices. Transparent management and clearly-defined ESG criteria make FTSE4Good indices suitable tools to be used by a wide variety of market participants when creating or assessing responsible investment products.

  14. The Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) brings together individuals and organizations from around the world to develop strategies, guidelines, and resources to help make the Web accessible to PWD. One of the functions of WAI is to develop guidelines and techniques that provide accessible solutions for the Web software and for the Web developers. The WAI guidelines are considered as international standards of Web accessibility. For further information, you can check: http://www.w3.org/WAI/about.html.
