We want everyone who visits the ECOnGOOD website to feel welcome and find the experience to be productive and rewarding. As part of our commitment to human dignity and social justice, the International Federation for the Economy for the Common Good e.V. (ECOnGOOD) is dedicated to continuous improvement of the user experience for everyone, applying relevant standards to ensure we provide equal access to all our website visitors.

Measures We Are Taking

To help make the ECOnGOOD International Federation website a positive experience for everyone, we are using the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2. These guidelines explain how to make web content more user-friendly and accessible for everyone, especially for people with disabilities.

We have taken the following measures to ensure accessibility:

  • We provide appropriate alternative text for images

  • Our site is designed to be fully functional using a keyboard alone

  • Our forms are designed to be fully interactive using a keyboard alone

  • We ensure our site is compatible with modern screen readers

  • We maintain a consistent navigation structure throughout the website

  • We use clear and simple language wherever possible

  • We provide sufficient color contrast between text and background

Conformance Status

The ECOnGOOD website is partially conformant with WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

We acknowledge that some areas of our website may not yet be fully accessible, and we are actively working to identify and resolve these issues as part of our ongoing commitment to improvement in line with our values of human dignity, solidarity, and transparency.

Known Limitations

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the ECOnGOOD website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations:

  • Some older PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen reader software

  • Some multimedia content may not have captions or audio descriptions

  • Some complex data visualizations may be difficult to interpret with screen readers

  • Web structure and levels may be complex to navigate

We plan to address these issues as part of our ongoing website improvement efforts.
