For third consecutive year, Acxiom’s equity and inclusion efforts recognized through Disability:IN’s global Disability Index

Acxiom, the connected data and technology foundation for the world’s leading brands, today announced that it has been recognized for the third time as a “Best Place to Work for Disability Inclusion.” Acxiom’s score of 100 on the 2025 Disability Index^® recognizes an ongoing commitment to advancing disability inclusion and cultivating an accessible and supportive workplace where all employees can thrive and make meaningful contributions to the company’s success. The Disability Index is the world’s leading third-party benchmarking tool for evaluating corporate disability inclusion and is used by hundreds of companies globally.

Acxiom’s top score, achieved in the U.S., highlights work done to advance equity and inclusion for individuals with disabilities. Acxiom is fostering meaningful change by removing barriers, practicing inclusive hiring practices, providing support, and valuing the unique strengths and contributions each employee brings to the organization.

The Disability Index measures performance across six key areas, including Culture & Leadership, Enterprise-Wide Access, Employment Practices, Community Engagement, Supplier Inclusion, and Responsible Procurement.

Notable disability inclusion work at Acxiom over the past year includes:

• Partnership with the University of Central Arkansas to sponsor UCA Living Unleashed, a nonprofit organization that provides highly trained companion dogs to people with disabilities.
• Participation in National Disability Employment Awareness Month events, such as the Arkansas Disability Employment Seminar, in partnership with the Arkansas Governor’s Council on Developmental Disabilities.
• Utilization of VocRehab+ to automate delivery of local job listings directly to Vocational Rehabilitation professionals and access talented job seekers with disabilities.

“We are proud to foster an environment that allows every employee to be their best," said Jarrod Martin, Acxiom CEO. "Disability inclusion is a business priority that leads to improvement across the board and is a critical part of our strategy to drive innovation. However, there is no finish line when it comes to advancing equity and inclusion. Our commitment is ongoing, and we are continually seeking new ways to remove barriers and create opportunities so that everyone can thrive."

“As we release this year’s Disability Index report, we celebrate the continued progress made by businesses around the world. Today, hundreds of the world’s leading companies are using this tool to benchmark and drive their disability inclusion efforts. Together, we are creating a global economy accelerated by disability inclusion,” said Jill Houghton, President and CEO of Disability:IN.
