ST. LOUIS, Sept. 20, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Ameren Corporation (NYSE: AEE) has once again received recognition as a "Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion," earning a top score of 100 from the Disability Equality Index. The index serves as the world's most comprehensive benchmarking tool for Fortune 1000 companies to measure disability inclusion inside their organization and to assess performance across industry sectors. 

"Completing the Disability Equality Index each year gives us the opportunity to reassess how we can best support our co-workers and customers with disabilities, and it's rewarding to see our efforts continue to be recognized," said Gwen Mizell, senior vice president and chief sustainability, diversity and philanthropy officer at Ameren. "We would not be able to fulfill our mission to power the quality of life without celebrating our employees' unique individuality and enabling their career growth at Ameren." 

Ameren's commitment to disability inclusion and equality includes the company's ongoing partnership with Starkloff Disability Institute and many of their programs, including the Dream Big Career Camp that strives to empower college and technical school-bound youth with disabilities to dream big about their future. An employee resource group, Powering Connections for All Abilities (PCAA), also champions disability inclusion and education at Ameren.

The Disability Equality Index was launched in 2015 in the United States as a joint initiative of Disability:IN and The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and is acknowledged today as the most robust disability inclusion assessment tool in business. The 2024 Disability Equality Index measured disability inclusion using various benchmarks, including employment practices such as recruitment and employment, community engagement, supplier diversity and responsible procurement.
