GBDN company members present at the meeting were Adecco, Carrefour, L’Oréal, Repsol and Legrand. GBDN non-business member Handicap International was present, too.

In the workshop, actors of existing and potential Latin American business and disability networks learned about each other’s approaches and activities, identified lessons learned and potential areas for South-South cooperation among the different business initiatives and networks on the inclusion of people with disabilities in the workplace.
