Measures to support accessibility

We take the following measures to ensure the accessibility of our Website:

• Inclusion of accessibility as part of our mission statement.
• Inclusion of accessibility in our internal policy.
• Integration of accessibility into our public procurement practices.

Compliance status

Web Content Accessibility Guidelines WCAG define requirements for designers and developers to improve the accessibility of people with disabilities. They define three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA and Level AAA. Our Website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. Partially compliant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Additional accessibility considerations

Although our goal is compliance with Level AA, we have also implemented certain Level AAA success criteria, such as text images being used only for decorative purposes.
