“Accessibility across the enterprise. Verizon strives to advance disability inclusion in every aspect of our business. We are committed to fostering a culture where all employees are empowered and equipped to thrive. In 2022, Verizon created an Accessibility Leadership team, composed of senior Verizon leaders across the enterprise, that is charged with advancing Verizon’s overall accessibility program and related initiatives, including ensuring that our employees have access to the tools and best practices they need as we move from accessibility awareness to acceptance and inclusion. In addition to hosting our annual Accessibility Summit, Verizon celebrates Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD) and Disability Pride Month. In 2022, we released new accessibility courses for Verizon employees. Our Disability Advisory Board, an external board of trusted leaders from disability organizations, met with senior Verizon leaders throughout 2022 to support our accessibility journey by providing expert advice on key strategic relationships and initiatives.”
