Bringing Disability Inclusion to the forefront
Our goal of building a more diverse community of solvers presents the opportunity to better include people with disabilities and those who care for them. We are committed to fostering an environment where people with disabilities are included, feel empowered to be themselves and have access to the support and adjustments they need to thrive.
In 2020, PwC’s Global Chairman, Bob Moritz, and a number of Territory Senior Partners (TSPs) became signatories of the Valuable 500, a global movement putting disability on the business leadership agenda. As part of this, PwC made a commitment to appoint a Global Disability Leader to drive accelerated and lasting change across the network. In September 2021, Leandro Camilo, a Partner, and the Inclusion & Diversity Leader, PwC Brazil, was appointed. Learn more about Leandro and his commitment to Disability Inclusion.

In 2022, we released our network's first Global Disability Inclusion Strategy, focussed on enhancing the lives of people with disabilities at PwC and those who have caring responsibilities, as well as people in the wider communities in which we work. This strategy articulates our vision and the areas we will focus on to drive change across the network. All member firms will be asked to take a minimum level of action over the next three years.
Hear more about our strategy from Leandro Camilo, our Global Disability Leader, and from our people who share why Disability Inclusion is important to them and the actions we are hoping to take together.

Celebrating Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) 2023
GAAD, aims to raise awareness of digital access and inclusion. Its overarching message is that someone with a disability should be able to experience web-based services, content and other digital products with the same successful outcome as those without disabilities. By working together within our network, we are striving to foster and build a future where people with disabilities are fully included, feel empowered, and have the support, technology, and adjustments they need to thrive. For GAAD 2023, Leandro Camilo, our Global Disability Inclusion Leader is joined by our solvers with disabilities to discuss our journey towards digital accessibility. Find out more in our Awareness, Advocacy and Action: Our journey towards digital accessibility profile.
