# Digital accessibility policy

The SYSTRA Group wishes to offer an optimised online experience for as many
people as possible, including people with disabilities. As part of this
approach, SYSTRA is committed to making its websites accessible in accordance
with article 47 of law n°2005-102 of 11 February 2005.

To this end, the SYSTRA Group has implemented a progressive compliance strategy,
with an initial evaluation audit (August 2023) aimed at identifying
accessibility problems encountered on a representative sample of the site and
prioritising the resolution of these problems. This first audit was followed by
several batches of corrections, after which a compliance audit was produced.

This accessibility statement applies to the network’s websites based on the
WordPress theme used by the systra.com website.

## Compliance status

The SYSTRA Group’s network of websites is partially compliant with the criteria
of the
[Référentiel Général d’Amélioration de l’Accessibilité (RGAA) version 4.1](https://www.numerique.gouv.fr/publications/rgaa-accessibilite/methode-rgaa/criteres/#contenu)
.

The SYSTRA Group aims to gradually bring its websites into compliance through a
continuous improvement process.

### Test results

The evaluation audit carried out in August 2023 revealed that 41% of the RGAA
criteria were initially met.

**After implementing several batches of corrections, the site’s RGAA compliance rate was increased to 61% in February 2025.**

[The results of the audit can be consulted on the ara.numerique.gouv.fr platform.](https://ara.numerique.gouv.fr/rapport/oCIyYvXPQlVqsGB_A9Pfs)
