Accessibility

Our Accessibility Policy

The WCAG 2.0 international guidelines provide a variety of recommendations for how websites should be made accessible to a wider range of people with disabilities. This includes blindness and low vision, deafness and hearing loss, learning disabilities, cognitive limitations, limited movement, speech disabilities, photosensitivity and combinations of these. Respecting these guidelines guarantees people with disabilities access to content on our websites, and also makes our web content and navigation clearer and more user friendly to all of our website visitors.

If you have any questions or comments about AXA IM's Accessibility Policy, you can contact the Digital Communications team by using this email: webmasters@axa-im.com.
