Missed Opportunities
Removing barriers = good business
More than 15% of the world's population has a disability, yet barriers affecting this group remain commonplace. Most businesses do not notice these barriers until a complaint arises, resulting in lost profit, a damaged reputation and a missed opportunity to engage with this growing market.
Focusing on What Matters
Identifying discriminatory barriers
Equality law can be complex and confusing. Some forms of discrimination are deemed acceptable (factual), others are deemed unacceptable (illegal), and some well-meaning attempts to benefit a particular group can even unintentionally create the very type of discrimination that should be avoided.
This complexity is often magnified in the context of disability, resulting in uncertainty that cuts into profits through missed opportunities, legal costs and inefficient or unnecessary modifications to products and services.
