Sawai Group Web Accessibility Policy

To ensure that websites operated by Sawai Group companies are accessible to everyone, including seniors and people with disabilities, we strive to meet the WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) conformance level AA standards set by the World Wide Web Consortium.

1. Scope

Websites operated by Sawai Group companies

Testing will be conducted and results published on a Web page-by-Web page basis.

2. Target Conformance Level and Degree of Compatibility

Compliant with W3C WCAG 2.1 conformance level AA

Note: The term “compliant” in this Web Accessibility Policy is based on the terminology defined in the “JIS X 8341-3:2016 Guidelines for Indicating Degree of Compatibility for Web Content - April 2021 Edition” by the Web Accessibility Infrastructure Committee of the Info-Communications Access Council.

Given the intent of the website, “大人の神経発達症.jp” (AdultNeurodevelopmentalDisorders.jp) is already aiming for WCAG2.2 conformance level AA.

5. Standards Unable to Be Attained, Issues Identified and Approach for Addressing Them

  • There are some areas where the video subtitles and audio description are insufficient.
  • The contrast ratio of the image is insufficient, making the text difficult to distinguish in some places.
  • There are some places where alternative text and descriptions of actions, such as images and opening and closing modals, are lacking.

We will continue, through planned page updates, to address these identified issues as they come.
