We design and build products for everyone in line with our core purpose of removing barriers. We believe better digital accessibility supports people with diverse accessibility needs to thrive in the workplace.
We’re committed to knocking down barriers and making Sage products accessible to everyone. Our next milestone is to enhance Sage cloud products to WCAG 2.1 AA level by the end of 2025.
We aspire to put accessibility at the forefront of everything we build using the new Sage design system. Each component and pattern we use will have dedicated accessibility guidelines. These detail expected keyboard behaviour, non-visual elements, general best practice recommendations, and more.
We test all our products with real users to create designs that work for real people. Our testing includes users with disabilities to help us understand the challenges they may face as well as develop solutions that can work for everyone.
We are committed to working with a variety of charities that make a difference to ensure accessibility for all people through Sage Foundation.
Are you curious about how we’re bringing accessibility to our culture here at Sage? We have built-in training for all colleagues to increase awareness about accessibility challenges. This provides space for us to share our ideas for improvements while becoming advocates for increased accessibility.
We hold monthly presentations and workshops that deep dive into topics like accessible collaboration and accessible design, as well as sharing our work around web accessibility at Sage.
This weekly remote drop-in centre is where designers, programmers, and other Sage colleagues who work on our digital products can bring up their own accessibility challenges and questions for discussion around current projects.
Sage continuously assesses our products against the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG), and are currently using version 2.1, level AA. Read our accessibility statements for further information on how we are making our individual products and experiences more accessible.
