- Social commitment of large companies to disability in Spain and Portugal
Analysis of IBEX35 and PSI20 companies' initiatives
Keywords:
Disability, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Diversity, Social inclusion, IBEX35, PSI20, labour inclusion, non-financial reportsAbstract
In recent years, significant progress has been made to improve the social inclusion of people with disabilities. In this respect, European legislation has established a regulatory framework that commits companies to diversity and inclusion. However, business commitment is still limited and is key to achieving the integration of this social group. The purpose of this research is to determine the importance of disability in non-financial annual reports, taking as a sample the companies with the largest market capitalisation by sector of the IBEX35 and the PSI20. To this end, a content analysis is carried out with Atlas.ti, identifying each initiative and its correspondence with other aspects linked to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). The results reveal a relatively low weight of disability in these reports due to the complexity of these documents, recognising that IBEX35 companies are more interested in inclusion and diversity than PSI20 companies. The data show a commitment of Iberian companies to accessibility and training to achieve the inclusion of people with disabilities in the workplace, but also indicate that their actions tend to respond to compliance with regulations and not to a real commitment to society.
