Website Accessibility
Allowing everyone access to what they need from our site, in a format that works for them.
Our Commitment
We are committed to ensuring that our website is accessible to all users, including people with disabilities. Accessibility is an ongoing priority, and we strive to provide an inclusive digital experience that supports a wide range of abilities, technologies, and ways of interacting with content.
Our goal is to ensure that everyone can perceive, understand, navigate, and interact with our website effectively, whether they use assistive technologies, mobile devices, or standard web browsers.
Accessibility Standards
We are actively working to ensure that our global features, templates, and shared components conform to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Levels A and AA. These guidelines are internationally recognized standards for digital accessibility and support compliance with applicable accessibility laws and regulations.
Key Accessibility Principles
To support accessibility across our website, we focus on the following principles:
- Perceivable content: Information and user interface components are presented in ways that users can perceive, including support for screen readers and alternative formats.
- Operable navigation: Navigation and interactive elements are usable with a keyboard and function consistently across devices and platforms.
- Understandable structure and content: Content is organized clearly, uses meaningful headings, and follows predictable navigation patterns.
- Robust implementation: Our website is designed to work with current and future assistive technologies.
Accessibility Practices:
As part of our ongoing accessibility efforts, we apply the following practices across our website:
- Text alternatives are provided for meaningful images and non-text content.
- Color contrast is designed to support users with low vision or color vision deficiencies.
- Headings and page structure follow a logical, hierarchical order.
- Links are descriptive and convey purpose without relying on surrounding context.
- Forms include clear labels, instructions, and error feedback.
- Video and audio content includes captions and other accessible alternatives where appropriate.
- Content and navigation are responsive and usable across desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
Continuous Improvement
Accessibility is not a one-time effort. We regularly review and test our website to
identify and address accessibility barriers. This includes both automated testing
and human review to help ensure usability for people using assistive technologies.
We also continue to refine our design patterns, templates, and content practices to
align with evolving accessibility standards and user needs.
