Accessibility

Our Commitment

Global Business Compliance Foundation (“GBCF,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is committed to providing access to our website, information, and online services to the broadest reasonably practicable audience, including individuals with disabilities.

We recognize that accessibility is an ongoing process and that technologies, accessibility standards, user needs, and website content may change over time.

We therefore seek to identify and address accessibility barriers as they become known and to improve the usability and accessibility of our website on an ongoing basis.

Accessibility Approach

In developing and maintaining this website, GBCF seeks to follow generally recognized web accessibility practices and uses the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) as an important reference framework.

Our accessibility efforts may include consideration of matters such as:

• Clear and understandable page structure;

• Readable text and sufficient visual contrast;

• Meaningful headings and navigation;

• Descriptive text for relevant images and visual content;

• Keyboard accessibility for important interactive functions;

• Clear labels and instructions for forms;

• Understandable links and buttons;

• Responsive layouts across different screen sizes; and

• Compatibility with commonly used browsers and assistive technologies where reasonably practicable.

Accessibility is evaluated as part of our continuing website maintenance and improvement process.

Conformance Status

GBCF does not currently represent or certify that every page, feature, document, third-party integration, or element of this website fully conforms to any particular accessibility standard or conformance level.

References to WCAG or other accessibility practices on this page describe the standards and principles that may inform our accessibility efforts and should not be interpreted as a formal certification or representation of complete conformance.

Because web technologies and content evolve, some portions of the website may not operate optimally with every browser, device, accessibility setting, or assistive technology.

If you encounter a barrier, we encourage you to contact us so that we can review the issue.

Assistance and Alternative Access

If you have difficulty accessing information, using a feature, submitting a form, or otherwise interacting with this website because of a disability or accessibility-related issue, please contact us.

Where reasonably practicable, we will work with you to:

• Provide the requested information through an alternative accessible format;

• Assist with accessing a page, form, document, or website function;

• Provide information through email or another reasonable communication method; or

• Review and address an identified accessibility barrier.

The availability and form of an alternative method may depend on the nature of the requested information, the technology involved, and applicable legal or operational requirements.

Reporting an Accessibility Issue

Accessibility feedback helps us identify areas where improvements may be appropriate.

If you encounter an accessibility issue, please email:

contact@gbcf.ngo

To help us evaluate the issue efficiently, you may include, where applicable:

• The URL or name of the page involved;

• A description of the accessibility issue;

• The feature, content, form, or document you were attempting to access;

• The browser or device you were using;

• The assistive technology involved, if any; and

• Your preferred method of receiving the information or assistance.

You are not required to provide information that is unnecessary for us to understand or respond to your request.

We will make reasonable efforts to review accessibility-related communications and determine an appropriate response.

Third-Party Content and Services

Our website may contain links to or integrations with websites, payment services, online marketplaces, documents, platforms, applications, or other resources operated by third parties.

Examples may include payment processors, external websites, marketplace listings, embedded services, or other independently operated resources.

GBCF does not control the design, accessibility features, technical implementation, or accessibility practices of independent third-party websites and services.

Although we seek to use reputable service providers where appropriate, we cannot guarantee the accessibility of third-party content or services.

If you experience difficulty accessing a third-party service linked from our website, you may also wish to contact the operator of that service directly.

Documents and Downloadable Content

From time to time, GBCF may make reports, notices, records, publications, or other documents available through the website.

Some historical, externally supplied, scanned, archived, or complex documents may not be fully optimized for all assistive technologies.

If you experience difficulty accessing a document provided through our website, please contact us at contact@gbcf.ngo and identify the document involved.

Where reasonably practicable, we will consider providing the relevant information in an alternative format or through another accessible means.

Browser, Device, and Assistive Technology Compatibility

Users may access our website through different combinations of operating systems, browsers, devices, accessibility settings, and assistive technologies.

Because these technologies vary and are updated independently, GBCF cannot guarantee identical functionality or accessibility across every possible technical configuration.

For the best experience, users are encouraged to use reasonably current versions of commonly supported browsers, operating systems, and assistive technologies.

If a particular configuration creates an accessibility barrier, please contact us so that we can review the issue and, where reasonably practicable, provide another means of accessing the relevant information or service.

Ongoing Improvement

Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-time project.

As our website develops, we may periodically review:

• New or substantially revised pages;

• Navigation and interactive functionality;

• Forms and submission processes;

• Text, images, and multimedia;

• Downloadable documents;

• Third-party integrations; and

• Accessibility feedback received from users.

We may make accessibility improvements, corrections, or adjustments when issues are identified and where reasonably practicable.

No Effect on Legal Rights

Nothing in this Accessibility Statement is intended to limit, waive, or modify any rights or obligations that may exist under applicable law.

This statement describes GBCF's current accessibility approach and may be updated as our website, practices, technology, or applicable requirements evolve.

Updates to This Statement

We may update this Accessibility Statement periodically to reflect changes in our website, accessibility practices, technology, or applicable requirements.

The current version will be posted on this page with an updated “Last Updated” date.
