    Accessibility Statement

    This is an accessibility statement from Hager.

    Conformance status

    The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. Hagergroup.com is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 level AA means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

     

    Evaluation Method

    Hager has had the accessibility of hagergroup.com evaluated by a specialized provider, Ethic First. This evaluation focused on a representative sample of views and contents, using specialized tools and various assistive technologies.

    The sample includes the following pages:

    - Home;
    - Legal notice;
    - Contact;
    - Search results;
    - Brands;
    - The group;
    - Investments;
    - Our sites;
    - International projects;
    - News;
    - News article page;
    - Support;
    - Environment;
    - Vendée Globe 2024.

     

    This evaluation highlighted the areas for improvement mentioned above, and serves as the basis for managing their resolution.

     

    Limitations and Alternatives

    Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of our application, there may be some limitations.

    The application is constantly evolving. Some features are subject to impact testing, and are therefore only offered temporarily. Furthermore, a significant part of the site will be reworked in the near future. We focus our efforts on optimizing the accessibility of future features, which explains why some known limitations have not yet been addressed.

    Below is a description of the main difficulties identified, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe a problem not listed below.

     

    Known limitations:

    Images: Decorative images are not correctly ignored by assistive technologies: carousel images, item images. Informative images don't have detailed descriptions: on the home page, the image representing the certifications is not described in detail.

    Frame: Some frames have no title: on the "Vendée Globe" page, the "Anoter Race" frame. Frames have irrelevant titles: on "The group" page, the frame title is not in the good lang

    Media: Some non-temporals are not keyboard-controllable and are not compatible with assistive technologies: on the “Vendée Globe” page, the “Anoter Race” frame.

    Contrast and Colors: The selected state of some links is indicated only by color. Some texts have insufficient contrast with their background. Some interface components like buttons or form fields lack sufficient contrast with their background.

    Navigation and Structure: Links are not sufficiently explicit as the destination or function is not provided. Links have no label : social media for example. Content is not always properly structured with headings : empty title. The breadcrumb trail is not in a navigation system. Some lists are not properly structured or visually simulated.

    Focus and Interaction: Focus is not visible on interactive elements. Interface components (navigation trail, tabs, accordions, buttons, list mode buttons, carousel) are not compatible with assistive technologies or keyboard. Text spacing causes a loss of content or functionality: on the "Vendée Globe" page, the "Learn more" links are superimposed on the reduced-screen text content. Content grouping areas present on multiple pages cannot all be reached or avoided.

    Forms: Form fields have no label. Checkboxes are not grouped. On some forms, error messages are not correctly linked to corresponding fields and required fields are not explicit. Fields (example: Email address, Postal code or city) lack input deduction to facilitate auto-completion.

    Others: Moving content is not controllable by the user: on the home page, in a reduced-screen version, the carousel.
