Disability inclusiveness and accessibility
Disability inclusiveness and accessibility are part of who we are, how we work at EY, and how we will thrive in the future.
Disability inclusiveness forms the foundation of our organization
Well over a century ago, our co-founder Arthur Young became partially blind in a cricket game and later lost his hearing in law school. Unable to practice courtroom law, he emigrated from Scotland to the United States seeking new ways to use his skills. Arthur’s disability drove him to become an innovator and entrepreneur, as he evolved his accounting company into what it would become today: a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and consulting services.
We’ve been building on our commitment to disability inclusiveness ever since.
