Accessibility statement of our website

The non-profit association DNS Belgium wishes to promote the use of the internet by making it more accessible for people with a disability in particular. We are constantly improving our user experience and are applying the relevant accessibility standards accordingly. 

Measures to improve accessibility 

We have implemented the following measures to enhance the accessibility of our website: 

  • the promotion of the use of the internet in a sustainable manner is included in our organisation’s mission statement;
  • accessibility is an essential component of our sustainability strategy. This sustainability strategy is a fixed component of our procurement policy;
  • accessibility is included in our communication strategy;
  • our colleagues have undergone training in accessibility standards and communication strategies.

Level of compliance with the accessibility standard 

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) contains standards in terms of accessibility requirements for persons with a disability. There are three levels at which these rules can be implemented: Level A, Level AA and Level AAA. 

We are compliant with WCGA 2.1 Level AA. Archived information in PDF format, such as annual reports from the previous years and older version of our sustainability report may not be WCAG compliant. PDF files we receive from external parties (e.g. audit reports) are sometimes not in accordance with the rules.
