The rest of the picture shows abstract green and purple graphic illustrations of 2 buildings and rolling hills. Two signs showing a pink heart and a jagged shape pop our of one of the hills.

Disability Inclusion Plan
We launched our Disability Inclusion Plan in partnership with our DEIB Able Belonging Group. The plan is focused on four key areas:
Raising awareness of and removing stigma about people with disabilities.
Providing support through a global workplace accommodations process.
Creating an inclusive hiring experience; ensuring barriers are removed for candidates.
Building an inclusive community for Spotifiers with disabilities.
As part of our external commitments, we joined the Valuable 500, a global collective of CEOs and their companies committed to disability inclusion. Our Valuable 500 Commitment means we’re making sure our platform and workplaces are accessible to all Spotifiers, listeners, and creators.
In December 2022, we announced that Spotify is partnering with the Inevitable Foundation to launch Elevate for Podcasters, a program that empowers professional podcasters with disabilities with the funding, mentorship, equipment, and accommodations they need to level up their careers. Those who are accepted into the program receive a $10,000 grant to be used for professional development, equipment, show marketing, living expenses, and IP licensing.
