The ILO Global Business and Disability Network (GBDN) webinar “Procurement Power: What about Disability?” will focus on six high impact innovations, as procurement professionals are encouraged to:

• Demonstrate that suppliers which share their commitment to disability equality and inclusion gain competitive advantage

• Require key suppliers to meet explicit disability & accessibility KPIs when these suppliers have a direct impact on how efficiently and fairly a workplace adapts for job candidates and employees with disabilities

• Ensure the level of accessibility and usability, of technology and the built environment, that liberates everyone’s contribution – including people with disabilities

• Bring disability-owned businesses into local and global supply chains

• Join the G3ict (Global Initiative for Inclusive ICTs)’s Procurement Impact Alliance, helping suppliers in emerging markets improve their disability performance by using the free ILO GBDN Self-Assessment

• Mitigate the risks triggered by the procurement of AI-powered HR technologies
