CareER Disability Inclusion Index (CareER DII)

Hong Kong’s First and Only Localised Disability Inclusion Framework

The CareER Disability Inclusion Index (CareER DII) is an award-winning framework and systematic assessment tool designed specifically for the private sector in Hong Kong. Developed in 2021, CareER DII provides companies with a data-driven, evidence-based approach to identify workplace barriers, build structural roadmaps, and implement tangible actions toward sustainable disability inclusion.

Employers recognised at the 2023 CareER DII event.

Recognised globally for its innovative approach to business transformation, CareER DII is a two-time recipient of the United Nations-affiliated Zero Project Award. Built upon international best practices and a decade of local market experience, the index has successfully scaled to assess the APAC regional offices of our multinational corporate partners.

Why Disability Inclusion Matters for Your Business

  1. Meet ESG and Disability Inclusion and Accessibility Standards

    Structural disability inclusion strategies provide measurable metrics that directly support corporate Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) reporting requirements.

  2. Grow Your Market

    Almost 1 in 10 individuals in Hong Kong identify as living with a disability. Building accessible physical and digital environments unlocks massive opportunities in a historically untapped consumer market.

  3. Boost Workplace Innovation

    A diverse team fosters an open exchange of ideas and unique perspectives, enhancing your organisation’s ability to design products for a wider range of customers.

The Assessment Framework

CareER Disability Inclusion Index: 40 metrics across nine domains—organisational policies and structure; civic and community engagement; products and services; supply chain and procurement; recruitment; staff engagement and retention; accommodation and adjustment; accessibility; and open-ended questions.
