Description

For over 32 years, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has been a cornerstone of ensuring accessibility. In recent years, the importance of digital accessibility has surged, becoming integral to Environmental Social & Governance (ESG) and Diversity Equity & Inclusion (DE&I) initiatives. While the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines set global standards, implementing accessibility best practices across the Information & Communication Technology (ICT) landscape of a global pharma company can be daunting. In this session, we delve into the essential elements of a digital accessibility program, covering:

•    Where digital accessibility sits within a large global company
•    Steps to creating a digital accessibility policy and governance
•    Workstreams in a digital accessibility program
•    Accessibility by design.
