Accessibility Statement

Our commitment

We aim to meet level AA of the W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 and the Brazilian e-Government Accessibility Model (eMAG), Brazil's reference for digital accessibility.

We do so in compliance with the Brazilian Law for the Inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (Law No. 13,146/2015), whose article 63 makes accessibility mandatory on websites maintained by companies headquartered or commercially represented in Brazil.

Available features

• Accessibility panel, opened from the button in the lower-left corner of every page: text size (100% to 150%), high contrast, highlighted links, readable font with extra spacing and stopping animations. Your choices are saved only in your browser.
• Listen to this page: the main content, or a selected passage, is read aloud by your own browser (Web Speech API), with no data sent to third parties.
• Libras with VLibras: on the Portuguese pages, the panel turns on VLibras, a Brazilian Federal Government tool that translates text into Brazilian Sign Language (Libras). It is only loaded when you activate it.
• Keyboard navigation: a “Skip to content” link, logical tab order, always-visible focus and menus that close with the Esc key.
• Screen readers: heading and landmark structure (header, navigation, main content and footer), text alternatives for informative images, buttons with accessible names and a notice on links that open in a new tab.
• Forms: labels tied to their fields, required fields marked with text and an asterisk, autocomplete for name, email, phone and company, error messages next to each field and submission confirmations announced to screen readers.
• Corporate video (audio in Portuguese) with synchronized captions in Portuguese, English, Spanish, French and Chinese, and the full transcript published right below the video in the page language.
• 100% text-based service: you can reach us by WhatsApp (text message), email or the form, with no need to speak on the phone.
• Respect for system preferences: animations are automatically reduced when your system asks for reduced motion, and pages adapt to zoom of up to 200% and to screens 320 px wide.

How we evaluate

With every change to the website, continuous integration (CI) runs automated axe-core tests (Playwright) that check the WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 level A and AA rules on the main pages and languages. Automated keyboard tests (operating the accessibility panel and focus in forms) and reflow tests (text enlarged to 150% on 320 px and 1280 px screens, with no horizontal scrolling) also run.

A manual review with screen readers (NVDA and VoiceOver) is scheduled; this statement will be updated with the results.

Known limitations

• VLibras only translates text in Portuguese, so it is only offered on the Portuguese pages. It is an external Brazilian Federal Government service and depends on that service's availability.
• The quality of the read-aloud feature depends on the voices installed on your device and browser.
• The images showing client and partner logos are described in general terms, without listing each company.
• External services reached from the website (Google Maps, Waze, WhatsApp, social networks and the Cloudflare Turnstile bot check) follow their providers' accessibility practices.
