On 8 October, ActionAble published the inaugural ActionAble Disability Index FTSE 100 2026, authored by Sara Weller CBE, bringing together new evidence on disability reporting across the UK’s largest listed businesses.
The Index explores how prepared organisations are for mandatory Disability Pay Gap Reporting and offers a timely picture of where progress is being made, where challenges remain and what business leaders can learn from the organisations leading the way.
Sara and senior leaders from business and the disability sector got together for the first public discussion of the findings, as they explored what the Index reveals and what practical action organisations can take next.
The conversation also looked beyond the findings themselves, examining how ActionAble can work with business leaders, partners, policymakers and the disability community to turn the evidence into practical change across sectors.

- An early look at the headline findings from the newly published ActionAble Index 2026.
- A clearer view of the current state of disability reporting across the FTSE 100.
