Website accessibility is no longer optional; it's essential. In May 2024 alone, 114 website accessibility lawsuits were filed, with the Apparel, Food & Beverage, and Household Products industries being the most targeted. Notably, 73% of these lawsuits were filed in New York, with California following at 20%. These trends underscore the urgency for organizations to prioritize accessibility. Interestingly, however, none of the litigated websites in May employed third-party overlay tools, highlighting a shift towards the demand for more robust and genuine accessibility measures. Fundamentally, companies are beginning to align that superficial fixes is no longer sufficient, and comprehensive accessibility solutions are becoming a legal necessity. Continual Engine's AI-enabled products offer a seamless solution to ensure your digital assets are compliant and accessible. Our technology can help you achieve WCAG 2.0/2.1 compliance effortlessly.

The rise of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) reporting reflects a significant shift in how companies operate, focusing not just on compliance but on building inclusive and strong brands. Recent studies show that 72% of European Fortune 500 companies now include disability in their ESG reports. This trend is driven by the understanding that embracing accessibility is not just about avoiding legal risks but about reaching a larger audience and demonstrating a commitment to inclusivity. Companies today are realizing that prioritizing accessibility strengthens their brand, fosters trust among stakeholders, and opens up opportunities to engage with a more diverse customer base. As sustainability reporting becomes mandatory in the EU by 2025, we expect even more companies to follow suit, making accessibility a cornerstone of their ESG strategies. At Continual Engine, we're proud to support businesses in this journey towards inclusivity and sustainable growth. #ESG #Accessibility #Sustainability #BrandBuilding #ContinualEngine
