Why is digital accessibility important?
We live in a world where the digital is increasingly at the center of our lives: from work to communication to information and entertainment. In this constantly changing environment, ensuring digital accessibility is a real necessity. One in four people lives with a disability, and one in two people feels discriminated against.
These numbers clearly show us that a significant portion of the population risks being excluded from opportunities and services if the digital world is not designed and implemented with diverse needs in mind.
What we can and must do
The digital has extraordinary potential to break down barriers and promote autonomy and participation for all: everyone, regardless of their abilities, should have access to services. Digital accessibility is a process: It's not just about meeting technical requirements but adopting an approach that puts people at the center—in a time when the digital permeates every area of society.
What does the law say?
In many countries, it is recommended that every person should have the right to access all information sources and services, including online services. In particular, this right of access should be guaranteed and protected for people with disabilities, in the spirit of equal treatment and inclusion for all. In Switzerland, this right is enshrined in the Disability Equality Act (BehiG), which prohibits discrimination based on disability and promotes accessibility in various areas, including digital offerings.
Legal obligations and deadlines.
From June 28, 2025, numerous companies are required to adapt their websites in accordance with the requirements of the European Accessibility Act (EAA). Although this law directly applies to companies within the EU, it also affects 🇨🇠Swiss companies that maintain business relationships with customers or partners in the EU. Failure to comply with the new regulations may result in not only fines but also the loss of significant market shares.
Those subject to the regulations must ensure:
Websites and mobile applications must be accessible, for example, by complying with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)
Digital documents (such as PDFs) must be accessible
Digital services, including e-commerce, online banking, digital transport services, etc., must be accessible.
