EnRoute Growth Platform Accessibility Statement

Effective Date: May 30, 2026 Last Modified: May 30, 2026 Version: 3.0 (Full Publication-Ready) Supersedes: V2.0 (April 1, 2026)

1. Our Commitment

EnRoute Growth Platform ("EGP," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all individuals, including people with disabilities. We strive to provide an inclusive experience across all of our websites, platforms, applications, and services by following the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at the AA conformance level.

We believe that accessibility is not merely a compliance requirement but a fundamental aspect of delivering excellent service to all users.

2. Conformance Standards

2.1 WCAG 2.2 Level AA

EGP targets conformance with WCAG 2.2 Level AA (World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Recommendation, October 5, 2023), which addresses accessibility for users with the following disabilities:

Visual impairments (blindness, low vision, color blindness)
Auditory impairments (deafness, hearing loss)
Motor impairments (limited fine motor control, paralysis)
Cognitive and neurological disabilities (learning disabilities, attention disorders, seizure disorders)

WCAG 2.2 incorporates all prior WCAG 2.1 and 2.0 success criteria and adds the following new criteria at Level A and AA, which EGP digital properties target:

2.4.11 Focus Not Obscured (Minimum) (AA)
2.4.12 Focus Not Obscured (Enhanced) (AAA, aspirational)
2.4.13 Focus Appearance (AAA, aspirational)
2.5.7 Dragging Movements (AA)
2.5.8 Target Size (Minimum) (AA)
3.2.6 Consistent Help (A)
3.3.7 Redundant Entry (A)
3.3.8 Accessible Authentication (Minimum) (AA)
3.3.9 Accessible Authentication (Enhanced) (AAA, aspirational)

2.2 Section 508

For clients in the public sector, EGP supports compliance with Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act, as updated by the U.S. Access Board (Revised 508 Standards aligned to WCAG 2.0 AA, with EGP voluntarily targeting the higher WCAG 2.2 AA bar).

2.3 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance

EGP's digital properties are designed to comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) as applied to websites and digital services, consistent with the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) April 2024 Title II final rule adopting WCAG 2.1 AA as the technical standard. EGP voluntarily targets the higher WCAG 2.2 AA bar.

2.4 EN 301 549 (European Harmonized Standard)

For European Economic Area (EEA) facing services, EGP targets harmonized European accessibility standard EN 301 549 v3.2.1 or later, which incorporates WCAG 2.1 AA by reference and is the technical foundation for compliance with the European Accessibility Act (EAA).

2.5 European Accessibility Act (EAA) Compliance Commitment (NEW V3)

The European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882, the "EAA") became enforceable on June 28, 2025 and applies to specified products and services (including e-commerce services, banking, ticketing, transport information, and consumer-facing digital services) placed on the market or provided in the European Union on or after that date. EGP commits to:

Conforming EGP-operated EEA-facing websites, web applications, and electronic communications to EN 301 549 v3.2.1 or later
Preparing and maintaining the technical documentation required by Article 14 of the EAA
Cooperating with EU member-state market-surveillance authorities upon request
Notifying clients of any material EAA-related accessibility conformance gaps affecting client-facing EGP services

EGP does not currently operate microenterprise-exempt offerings and does not invoke the EAA microenterprise exemption.

3. Accessibility Features

EGP platforms incorporate the following accessibility features:

Full keyboard navigation support for all interactive elements

Content that does not rely solely on color to convey information
Adjustable contrast and color settings through our accessibility widget

3.3 Auditory Accessibility

4. Third-Party Content

Some content on our platforms is provided by third-party services and may not yet be fully adapted to accessibility standards. EGP actively works with third-party partners to improve accessibility across all digital touchpoints. If you encounter inaccessible third-party content on our platform, please contact us so we can address the issue or provide an accessible alternative.

5. Known Limitations

We are aware of the following accessibility limitations and are actively working to resolve them:

Some legacy Portable Document Format (PDF) documents may not be fully accessible. We are converting these to accessible formats on an ongoing basis.
Certain interactive data visualizations may have limited screen reader support. We provide alternative data tables where possible.
Some third-party embedded content may not meet our accessibility standards.

We are committed to resolving known issues according to our remediation schedule and welcome reports of additional accessibility barriers.

6. Accessibility Testing and Conformance Reporting

6.1 Testing Methods

EGP conducts accessibility testing through:

Automated accessibility scanning using industry-standard tools (axe-core, Lighthouse, Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (WAVE))
Manual testing with assistive technologies (screen readers, keyboard navigation, voice control)
User testing with individuals with disabilities (when applicable)
Regular code reviews with accessibility criteria

6.2 Testing Schedule

We conduct accessibility reviews:

During development of new features and pages
Quarterly for existing content and functionality
Upon receipt of accessibility feedback or complaints
Annually as a full conformance pass against WCAG 2.2 AA and EN 301 549

6.3 Conformance Reporting Cadence (EXPANDED V3)

EGP publishes its accessibility conformance status as follows:

Annual Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR): EGP publishes an annual ACR aligned to the Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VPAT) 2.5 or later, covering EGP-operated public websites and applications. The current ACR is available on request.
Quarterly internal conformance attestation: EGP performs an internal quarterly conformance attestation against WCAG 2.2 AA and EN 301 549 and tracks any non-conformities through a documented remediation backlog.
Material-change disclosure: Where a material non-conformity is identified that meaningfully impairs access for users with disabilities, EGP updates this Statement and notifies affected clients within thirty (30) days of identification.
