The Ascott Limited has embedded disability inclusion across its 40-country network through its Ascott CARES framework. In partnership with SG Enable and Save the Children, it has audited properties, aligned digital interfaces with WCAG 2.1, and trained over 100 staff in disability awareness. DiscoverASR.com now includes accessibility data on over 50% of property pages. Quest became Australia’s first multi-site hotel brand to earn top-tier Accessible Accommodation accreditation. A dedicated cross-departmental disability inclusion committee ensures strategic progress, while S$400,000 was donated to youth empowerment programmes in Thailand and the UK.
From inclusive hiring to maker spaces and education outreach, Ascott’s approach blends operational integration with global social impact.
