Creating a conversation around the unique abilities, value and perspectives that disability can bring

---

One billion people worldwide live with some form of disability. As a disability-confident organisation and lead global sponsor of Purple Tuesday, Standard Chartered continues to create conversations around the unique abilities, value and perspective that disability can bring.

Standard Chartered has already made significant strides as the company focus on building a more accessible and inclusive environment – but recognise that there is still more to do. As part of their focus on driving positive change, they have partnered with Purple Tuesday as their Global Banking sponsor, with a specific focus on improving the disabled customer experience.  To mark International Day of Persons with Disabilities in December, Standard Chartered spoke to five colleagues with a disability about their identity, how the Bank empowers them and helps them to feel valued and included, challenges they face in the workplace and outside, and what we could all be doing to be more inclusive.
