Published on: 19 August 2021

Changing lives

We want you to join us and support the #WeThe15 campaign. It aims to transform the lives of the 1 billion people globally who have a disability.

15 equates to the percentage of the global population with a disability – visible or hidden.

Together with organisations worldwide, we’re proud to support #WeThe15 – encouraging more conversation and discussion around disability.

#WeThe15 is the biggest ever group of organisations from sport, human rights, policy and business to initiate change for the world’s largest marginalised community.

Inclusion and diversity

The 10-year campaign, which launches before the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games, aligns with the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

The objective is to stop discrimination and make those with a disability active, visible and contributing members of society.

Valuable 500

We are involved with #WeThe15 as we are part of The Valuable 500 – one of the founders of the campaign.

The Valuable 500 is a community of 500 national and multinational, private sector businesses. The aim is to help and unlock the social and economic value of disabled people across the world.

Unlocking value

By joining The Valuable 500, companies agree to:

  • put disability on the board agenda
  • make one commitment to action
  • share their commitment to The Valuable 500 internally and externally.
