The ethical case
By enabling your services to become accessible to the widest possible audience there are undoubted economic benefits, but also the feel-good factors, that results from taking an ethical approach.
Businesses need to protect and enhance their brands, a clear commitment to accessibility can demonstrate that a business has a genuine sense of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). It is notable that many large, successful companies such as Google, Apple and IBM invest a lot in inclusive design and accessibility, but you don’t have to be a fortune 500 business to implement an inclusive strategy. Even the smallest changes can make a huge impact and give you something extra to align to your brand offering.

Accessibility goes beyond a moral and ethical imperative, being accessible also fulfills important legal requirements. It is necessary for service providers to achieve certain standards of accessibility or risk prosecution. The international accessibility guidelines referred to earlier, can help you to comply with the disability discrimination laws that many countries have.
