The CSR rule in disability is not limited to experienced  & well-educated people only to overcome the disability, but it mainly concerned with helping to find their passion, and gain new skills to adapt positively in their societies and able to produce.

Creating jobs for people with disabilities and promoting their integration is part of CSR.
You also know that sustainability now includes social dimensions such as social inclusion, equal opportunities and combating discrimination. They are intrinsically linked, and future sustainability efforts need to be considered.

people’s differences are no longer cause for positive or negative, conscious or subconscious discrimination but are seen as intangible assets within a company that needs to be fostered, another step is taken towards being socially as well as economically sustainable in the long run. Therefore, Both CSR and diversity are interesting fields with interdisciplinary potential which can trigger new ways of thinking. People with special needs overcome tremendous odds to be where they are. Such skills might not be possessed by non-disabled individuals. The transfer of skills in this situation would improve employers’ skills and increase overall efficiency in the office.
