Social Sustainability

Creating Equity

Provide technology and information that creates equity for those with disabilities, neuro-differences, and cognitive, physical or mental health challenges.
While we continue to learn and improve, we are committed to embedding accessibility into business operations (e.g. providing online events with subtitles and slides in advance, alt-text and appropriate colour contrasts added to all images).
Include more companies with a shared social aim at events to provide a wider range of speakers and products - providing actionable knowledge as well as demonstrations.
Commit to improving the accessibility of our products at each development sprint.
We are registered with the Government Disability Confident Scheme as being Disability Confident Committed. Certificate number DCS045273.
