Microsoft is committed to ensuring our products and services are designed for everyone including over one billion people with disabilities.
Microsoft Accessibility Conformance Reports show our commitment to accessibility. For enterprise, education, and government professionals, these reports help with procurement decisions and product integration within an organization.
Our commitment to accessibility is guided by three main principles: transparency, inclusivity and accountability. In developing our products and services, we take into account leading global accessibility standards, including:
EN 301 549
U.S. Section 508
Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Microsoft also works with governments and organizations around the world to deliver the benefits of digital technology to people with disabilities.
Accountability
We prioritize inclusive design and accessibility in products and services. Microsoft publishes Accessibility Conformance Reports (ACRs) describing how our products and services support the criteria of the European accessibility standard, EN 301 549; Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act; and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
We want to empower everyone—with our products, services, and technology, and within our culture at Microsoft. Our approach enables us to partner with individuals who have diverse disabilities.
We are open with our plans to ensure our products are accessible. The Microsoft Accessibility website provides information about our products, the latest inclusive developments, and accessibility tools.
We provide dedicated support to our enterprise customers who have questions about accessibility within our products and services or about Accessibility Conformance Reports.
