Unilever is committed to accessibility, diversity and inclusion, as well as sustainable approaches to each of these important issues. We believe all of our consumers and guests should be able to access our websites, and we strive simultaneously to provide a visually rich user experience.
For those users who need it, our goal is to facilitate access to our websites using assistive technologies, such as a screen reader, text to speech or speech recognition software, screen magnifier, and/or keyboard emulators.
All pages use valid, structured, semantic HTML5. Visual styling is provided by Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), and enhanced user interaction is provided by JavaScript.
Below is a non-exhaustive list of items we have implemented to enhance our webpages, so they are as easy as possible to navigate for all users:
Site layout
Our webpage layouts are structured for easy navigation for individuals using a screen reader. We use semantic HTML5 with appropriate tags to distinguish content headings, sections, listings, tables, and other formatting features so that guests can easily and consistently use the website with assistive technology.
Text alternatives
Wherever images appear on our webpages, a text-based alternative is provided for screen readers to read the alternate text content.
Audio and video content
Many of our webpages contain audio and video contents, and wherever it is feasible we provide a text-based alternative, including captions and transcripts.
Text and background colors
Our webpages are often rich with content, images and functionality, and we consider accessibility in our design and content creation process.
Zooming
Most modern browsers support page zooming functionality, to allow users to increase or decrease the size of the page content without loss of content or function. Our webpages are optimized to use the browser zoom functionality. Users will be able to zoom-in or zoom-out for most parts of the webpages.
Keyboard accessibility
Most parts of our webpages can be accessed using only tab-based keyboard or keyboard emulators to navigate through the site.
Browser support
We test our webpages to render correctly on most recent versions of Microsoft Edge, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Google Chrome.
Third party provided components
Many of our webpages use third-party-vendor-provided components. While Unilever cannot control third-party components, we encourage our vendors to provide content and components that are accessible and user friendly.
User generated content
Some of our webpages use social media widgets that contain user-generated content and images. Unilever does not control user-generated content, including whether it is accessible or user friendly.
