Every July, CJ Logistics America joins the rest of the United States in celebrating Disability Pride Month. This month is intended to promote awareness of those who are living with disabilities all over the world. Approximately 15% of the entire global population, one billion people, have a disability.
The origin of this month stems from July 26, which marks National Disability Independence Day in the United States. On that day in 1990, President George H. W. Bush signed the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) into law. This landmark legislation prevents any type of discrimination based on disability and, very importantly, requires businesses to provide accommodations to employees with disabilities and ensures public spaces can be accessible to everyone.
At CJ Logistics America, we believe our world is better when diverse peoples and cultures come together to understand each other’s experiences and perspectives. We stand with our team members and all those who share in that vision of global community and diversity. We unite with compassion and truth to embrace diversity, uphold equality and collaborate to build a better future. We thank all of our team members for coming together in the spirit of Integrity, Passion, Creativity and Respect, day in and day out.
