CONWAY, Ark.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--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.

"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."
