Accessibility

The international Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) defines Web accessibility as follows:

 

"Web accessibility means that websites, tools, and technologies are designed and developed so that people with disabilities can use them. More specifically, people can: perceive, understand, navigate and interact with the Web, and contribute to the Web. Web accessibility also benefits people without disabilities, for example older people with changing abilities due to ageing.

 

Web accessibility encompasses all disabilities that affect access to the Web, including: visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive and neurological disabilities."

Our web commitment 

To ensure sustainable accessibility on our websites, we have initiated a number of projects:

 

●       A situational analysis of the website via a WCAG 2.1 - Level AA accessibility audit

●       Increased awareness and improved expertise among our teams

●       The implementation of specific accessibility tools and documentation

●       The consideration of accessibility in our web projects from the start

●       Support from accessibility experts

 

This website is designed to be used by as many people as possible, including persons with disabilities. You should be able to:

 

●       zoom up to 200% without problems

●       navigate most of the website using just a keyboard

●       navigate most of the website using a modern screen reader and speech recognition software (on your computer or phone)
