Accessibility Statement

Circle Economy Foundation (Circle Economy) is committed to ensuring that its website is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of ability, technology, or environment. We are working to make our digital services comply with the European Accessibility Act (Directive (EU) 2019/882) and the harmonised European standard EN 301 549, which is based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA.

This Accessibility Statement applies to content published on the domain: https://circle-economy.com. Other Circle Economy websites and their content will have their own specific accessibility statement.

Compliance Status

The Circle Economy website is partially compliant with WCAG 2.1 Level AA. This means that while most of the platform meets accessibility requirements, some parts of the content do not yet fully conform.

Non-accessible Content

Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of the Circle Economy website, we are aware of some limitations, which we are working to fix to the best of our abilities. Below is a description of known limitations and plan for remediation. Please contact us if you encounter an issue not listed below.

Known limitations for the Circle Economy website:

Missing skip to content
Some missing field labels
Some missing or duplicate alt text for images
Programmatic field purposes missing
Some missing titles

We are actively working to resolve these issues as part of our ongoing development roadmap.
