Concrete actions
- Keyboard navigation: hit tab to navigate from link to link, set up skip links for direct access to page content, image carrousel navigation;
- Optimized software ergonomy: enhanced contrast and legibility, and adjustable text size for comfortable reading;
- Enhanced browsing: the site map is accessible from all pages and the web browser is internalized for greater efficiency;
- Optimized content consultation: pdf format available for all documents, alternative texts for image, videos and animations.
A disability-friendly offering
Some of the devices used by Natixis to allow people with disabilities to navigate the www.natixis.com website include a Braille terminal, a screen reading software, speech synthesis.
With the renewal of this label, Natixis rounded out the actions carried out to promote diversity and disability equality: creating employee awareness, setting up a “disability” reference person in each business line, developing an outside network of specialized partners and the procurement of services from the protected worker sector.
