Accessibility Statement

L'Oréal's corporate venture capital fund

This page sets out our commitments in terms of digital accessibility.

What is Digital Accessibility?

Digital accessibility is a set of standards and best practices covering functional, graphic, technical and editorial aspects.

Digital media (websites, mobile applications, PDF files, etc.) must adhere to particular standards and best practices in order to be accessible by people with disabilities

For example, an accessible website allows users to:

  • Customize its display via the operating system and/or browser (enlarge or shrink characters, change typography, modify colours, turn off animations, etc.).
  • Browse using assistive technologies such as text-to-speech or Braille.
  • Navigate without having to use a mouse, just a keyboard, switches or a touchscreen.
  • Watch videos and audio content with subtitles and/or transcriptions.
  • And more
