Morgan’s move helps further expand Vistra’s commitment to inclusive global economy

Vistra Corp. is further expanding its commitment to an inclusive global economy through a new partnership with Disability:IN, the leading nonprofit resource for business disability inclusion worldwide.

Vistra CEO Curt Morgan recently marked Disability Employment Awareness Month by signing Disability:IN’s CEO letter, calling on other Fortune 1000 leaders to take action and advance inclusion.

“At Vistra, success and long-term sustainability are not possible without our people,” he said. “We are committed to recruiting and retaining the best in the marketplace, and that includes Americans with disabilities. These workers bring talent, perseverance, and valuable perspectives to our business, and their contributions to our company and society should be acknowledged and celebrated.”

Vistra will also participate in Disability:IN’s Equality Index. The benchmarking tool helps companies create more equitable workplaces and track their progress along the way.

“Inclusive leadership drives sustainable growth and performance by including the estimated 1-plus billion people around the world with a disability,” said Disability:IN President and CEO Jill Houghton. “We look forward to working together in building an inclusive economy for all.”
