Our Impact

Whether ensuring the environmental health and safety of our employees or making a difference in the disability community, the BraunAbility impact is felt far beyond our products alone.  

Environmental

As an automotive manufacturer, we recognize our products impact the environment, and we are actively finding ways to advance our sustainability efforts. From sourcing local suppliers for needed components to bringing to market our first hybrid conversion, BraunAbility continues to push progress toward environmental efficiencies.

Social

Drive for Inclusion is our movement to cultivate a more inclusive future for the millions of people living with mobility disabilities and their caregivers. This mission is fueled by advocates, employees and partners who are sharing their voices and their energy to create a more accessible society. 

Governance

BraunAbility meets guidelines set by the International Organization of Standardization (ISO), ensuring the quality, safety, and efficiency of our products. BraunAbility products are also certified by the National Mobility Equipment Dealers Association (NMEDA) to ensure all federal safety guidelines are met.



United Nations Global Compact

We are proud to serve a corporate mission that impacts society, but we recognize that BraunAbility also has a responsibility to improve the communities in which we live, work, and do business.

That’s why BraunAbility is committed to operating under the United Nations Global Compact Corporate Sustainability Leadership policy, which requires businesses to align operations under 10 fundamental principles for socially responsible and sustainable long-term success.

Grounded in Our Values 

BraunAbility is grounded in five values that guide our products, our people and our purpose as an organization.  

Live Our Legacy

Our founder, Ralph Braun, taught us five important lessons essential to continuing to change the lives of millions of people living with physical disabilities: put the customer first, avoid excuses and keep improving yourself and your work, surround yourself with good people and trust them to lead, and believe in your abilities. These lessons are displayed on our walls and are a part of our company culture.

Do What’s Right

What is right may not always be easy, but we commit our time, effort, energy, resources, and passion to ensure the highest quality of our products and services. We act with humility and integrity so those with physical disabilities and their caregivers can feel confident in choosing BraunAbility.

Celebrate Our People

We believe great progress begins with great people. We treat our employees with care and respect, fostering an environment where each member of our team feels supported in reaching their full potential.

Serve as a Champion

Our customers are at the heart of everything we do, placing their desires at the forefront of every innovation. Our vision extends beyond our factory floor to explore opportunities to serve our customers; not only through our products, but also by enriching the communities where we live and work

Drive Innovation

We utilize the latest technological advancements and innovations to continually improve our products and services. This commitment allows us to extend our reach and make a more significant impact on the lives of those living with mobility challenges and their caregivers.



Community Involvement

At BraunAbility, we are committed to ensuring a brighter future for our customers, our employees, and our environment. 

The Driving Force

Our Driving Force community of over 1700 individuals with physical disabilities and their caregivers provides insights through surveys to help us understand the challenges faced by the over 40 million people living with physical disabilities.

Mobility Match Program

The Mobility Match Program enables our employees to support disability organizations that match our purpose and are chosen by our people: SAWs, Bridge to Mobility, and Conquer Paralysis Now.

Community Volunteerism

From building ramps for low-income homes to supporting adaptive water ski clinics to painting accessible parking spaces, our employees have a passion for living our purpose through volunteerism in the disability community.
