From Commitment to Action: The Lloyds approach to Disability Inclusion

This session aims to provide actionable insights and inspire stakeholders to move beyond commitments, embracing proactive strategies that lead to meaningful inclusion and empowerment for individuals with disabilities. Lloyds believe that when customers, colleagues and communities are given equal access to opportunities it fosters innovation, builds diverse workplaces, and powers economic growth. Central to this vision is the principle of targeted universalism, which focuses on inclusive design of products and services for the specific needs of underserved groups, but that benefits everyone. ⁠

We will delve into Lloyds' initiatives, such as their disability and neurodiversity upskill programme, their role in the Lilac Review, and as a founding signatory of the Disability Finance Code for Entrepreneurship, highlighting how financial services, government, and business support organisations can work together in helping break down systemic barriers.
