Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: 01/07/2025

​

BlackLeaf Group is committed to ensuring that all users, regardless of ability or technology, can access and engage with our website, digital platforms, and services in a manner that is clear, navigable, and inclusive.

​

We believe in digital dignity and equal access for all — including persons with disabilities — and we strive to continuously improve the usability and accessibility of our online presence.

Our Commitment to Accessibility

We are actively working to meet internationally recognized accessibility standards and best practices, including:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA

  • Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act

  • The Equality Act (South Africa) and POPIA digital inclusion requirements

  • Guidelines by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

Our efforts include regular reviews, feedback channels, and platform enhancements to ensure that users with vision, hearing, motor, and cognitive disabilities can effectively interact with our content and services.

Features to Improve Accessibility

To support accessible browsing, we have implemented:

  • Responsive design for usability across screen sizes and devices

  • Keyboard navigation support throughout the site

  • Alt-text for images to support screen readers

  • Clear visual contrasts between text and backgrounds

  • Descriptive page titles, headers, and labels for assistive technologies

  • Skip-to-content links for faster navigation

  • Accessible forms and input fields with clear instructions

  • Zoom support and reflow capabilities without loss of functionality

We aim to ensure that any user with assistive technology — such as screen readers, voice commands, or alternative keyboards — can experience the full functionality of our site.

Ongoing Efforts and Testing

Our site is built and maintained using the Wix platform, which offers accessibility-compliant templates and native tools. In addition, we conduct periodic accessibility audits and manual testing using tools such as:

  • WAVE Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool

  • NVDA (NonVisual Desktop Access)

  • VoiceOver (Apple)

  • Lighthouse Accessibility Reports

  • Contrast Ratio Checkers

Where limitations exist, we are actively working to address them.

Third-Party Content

While we aim to ensure full accessibility across all content we directly control, some embedded third-party tools or documents (e.g., PDF reports, investor portals, Microsoft Forms, SharePoint integrations) may have accessibility limitations. We are committed to providing accessible alternatives upon request.

Requesting Alternative Formats

Upon request, we can provide information in accessible formats such as:

  • Text-only documents

  • Screen-reader compatible files

  • Audio summaries

  • Large print PDF documents

Accessibility Is an Ongoing Journey

We view accessibility as a responsibility and a value. As we continue to grow and expand our digital offerings, we will continue to place inclusion, transparency, and digital equality at the center of our design and development process.

Feedback and Assistance

If you experience difficulty accessing any content, form, or functionality on our website, we invite you to reach out. We will respond promptly and work to resolve the issue or provide alternative access.
