Accessibility statement
We're commited to digital Accessibilty
Sauvula Group is committed to advancing digital equality. Our mission is to ensure the web is accessible to everyone. To further this goal, we have partnered with Aeromis Digital, pioneers in the field of web accessibility. The following statement has been prepared by their team.
Accessibility on the Sauvula Group Website
This website is structured in a way that allows those of all abilities to easily and quickly find the information they need.
Ongoing Efforts to Ensure Accessibility on Our Website
We follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) version 2.2 as our guiding principle. These are internationally agreed-upon standards that cover a wide range of recommendations and best practices for making content more accessible. As we develop new pages and functionality for our website, all designs, code, and content entry practices are checked against these standards.
We continually test content and features for WCAG 2.2 Level AA compliance and remediate any issues to ensure we meet or exceed the standards. Testing of this website is performed using industry-standard tools such as WAVEopens a new window, Web Developer, screen readers, color contrast analyzers, and keyboard-only navigation techniques.
Accessibility Features On this Website
The following is a list of items we have included in this website to improve its accessibility:
- This website design has a mobile-responsive version with appropriately sized tap-targets.
- The brand colors were intentionally selected for color contrast and meet AAA requirements, even for small text.
- Navigational aids are provided on all pages. Skip navigation links have been incorporated to facilitate keyboard navigation and to bypass content on a page, allowing users to jump directly to the primary navigation, main content, and footer.
- Our website declares a language in the header.
- All images and other non-text elements have appropriate alternative text associated with them. This is provided for both available languages.
- Structural markup to indicate expected section containers, headings, lists, and buttons has been provided to make our content more understandable and “skim-able” by all users, regardless of device.
- Forms are associated with labels and instructions on filling in forms are available, along with clearly understandable error states.
