But what does it mean to make a website accessible?

Making a website accessible means designing and developing digital content so that it can be used by all people, regardless of their physical, sensory, or cognitive abilities. This includes, for example, ensuring that a visually impaired person can navigate with a screen reader, that a user with motor difficulties can use a keyboard instead of a mouse, or that content is understandable even for those with cognitive challenges.

Digital accessibility is rooted in principles of equity and inclusion, but it is also an increasingly important regulatory requirement, as established by European directives like the European Accessibility Act, which came fully into effect on June 28, 2025.

The Group’s commitment

Since 2024, Gruppo VéGé has stood out as one of the first operators in the large-scale retail sector to adopt concrete measures to ensure digital accessibility, anticipating regulations and promoting a culture of inclusion online as well.

Quote: “For us, digital accessibility is a natural extension of our commitment to people,” says Federico Sansone, Digital Manager at Gruppo VéGé. “Choosing Eye-Able® means equipping ourselves with practical tools to make our websites usable by everyone, without barriers, in line with our values of responsibility, innovation, and closeness.”
