The Inclusive Company

Collective of Strategic Accessibility & Inclusivity Experts

We empower businesses through strategy and foresight.

Why accessibility is important for an organisation:

1. Reach a larger audience:

By designing products, services, and websites with accessibility in mind, companies can reach a larger audience, including people with disabilities who may have previously been excluded from using their products or services.

2. Compliance with laws and regulations:

Many countries have laws and regulations that require companies to make their products and services accessible to people with disabilities. Failure to comply with these laws and regulations can result in legal penalties and a damaged reputation.

3. Better user experience:

By making products and services more accessible, companies can create a better user experience for everyone, not just people with disabilities. For example, captions on videos can also be useful for people who speak a different language or are in a noisy environment.

4. Improved brand image:

By prioritizing accessibility, companies can demonstrate their commitment to diversity and inclusivity, which can improve their brand image and reputation.

5. Ethical responsibility:

Companies have an ethical responsibility to ensure that their products and services are accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. By prioritizing accessibility, companies can fulfill this responsibility and contribute to a more inclusive society.

Inclusivity vs. Accessibility

Accessibility focuses on removing barriers and making sure that people with disabilities can access and use the same products, services as everyone else.

Inclusivity, on the other hand, is a broader concept that refers to creating experiences where everyone feels welcome and valued, regardless of their differences. Inclusivity goes beyond accessibility and also includes considerations like diversity, equity, and belonging.

An inclusive environment is one where people with disabilities are not just able to access and use products and services, but where they also feel like they belong and are valued.
