Enabling reporting accessibility

Reportl is a design and publishing platform purpose-built to enable the digitisation of corporate and sustainability reporting. By producing all report formats digital-first (i.e. from native XHTML), Reportl enables companies and their design teams to deliver multiple formats that are all accessible (PDF, online reports and digital filings).

Reportl accessibility capabilities include:

• Alt tags
• Semantic heading structure (H1-H6) is fully enabled in Reportl. This also relies on the design of the project adhering to strict heading hierarchies and structures, which is not always possible in complex reporting content.
• Fully responsive online and filing versions for all devices and browsers (text reflow WCAG 1.4.10).
• Allows zoom or enlarge text (again with text reflow).
• Accessible PDF (no need for a separate process/cost/delay).
• Table structures.
• HTML screen-readable graphics (when built within Reportl. i.e. graphics not always in an SVG/EPS which are less accessible).
• Video subtitles/closed captions (hosted using Vimeo, YouTube etc).
• Accessibility checks in the system.
  
  

We are currently working on the following accessibility functions: 

• Keyboard controls (for online/filing versions).
