“Regions Bank has a strong commitment to providing a workplace
where everyone can thrive,” said Clara Green, head of Diversity,

About the Disability Equality Index
The Disability Equality Index (DEI) is a comprehensive
benchmarking tool that helps companies build a roadmap of
measurable, tangible actions that they can take to achieve
disability inclusion and equality. Each company receives a score,
on a scale of zero (0) to 100, with those earning 80 and above
recognized as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.”
The DEI is a joint initiative of the American Association of
People with Disabilities (AAPD), the nation’s largest disability
rights organization, and Disability:IN, the global business
disability inclusion network, to collectively advance the inclusion
of people with disabilities. The organizations are complementary
and bring unique strengths that make the project relevant and
credible to corporations and the disability community. The tool was

business leaders, policy experts, and disability advocates. Learn
