Accessibility

This page outlines our commitments to digital accessibility across Europe and states the compliance status of this website with applicable regulations and standards, including the EU Web Accessibility Directive (Directive (EU) 2016/2102) and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

What Is Digital Accessibility?

Digital accessibility refers to a set of best practices—functional, visual, technical, and editorial—that ensure digital content (websites, mobile applications, PDFs, etc.) is usable by all, including people with disabilities.

An accessible website allows users to:

  • Customize the display (e.g., enlarge text, change fonts, adjust contrast, disable animations)
  • Navigate with assistive technologies (e.g., screen readers, braille displays)
  • Use the site without a mouse (via keyboard, switches, or touch screen)
  • Access video/audio content through captions or transcripts
  • And more


Our Commitments

Veolia is committed to making its digital services—websites (internet, intranet, extranet), mobile apps, software, and public-facing digital infrastructure—accessible to everyone, in compliance with the EU Web Accessibility Directive and WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
