Measures to support accessibility

Champagne Perrier-Jouët takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of the Perrier-Jouët website:

  • Include accessibility as part of our mission statement.
  • Integrate accessibility into our procurement practices.
  • Appoint an accessibility officer and/or ombudsperson.

Conformance status

The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA.

The Perrier-Jouët International website (https://www.perrier-jouet.com/en-ww) is currently Non-compliant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. 

Known accessibility issues

Despite our best efforts to ensure accessibility of the Perrier-Jouët website, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations based on the technical audit performed by Datawords, organized by the 4 WCAG principles:

1. Perceivable

Information and user interface components must be presentable to users in ways they can perceive.

  • Text Alternatives: Some non-decorative images do not have appropriate alternative text.
  • Multimedia: Some video content may lack synchronized captions or audio descriptions.
  • Contrast: Some text elements do not meet the minimum contrast ratio requirements against their background.

2. Operable

User interface components and navigation must be operable.

  • Keyboard Accessible: Some interactive elements (scripts, menus) are not fully functional via keyboard navigation.
  • Navigable: The focus order is not always logical, and the keyboard focus indicator may be missing on certain elements.
  • Link Purpose: Some links do not have a descriptive purpose (e.g., empty links or vague labels).

3. Understandable

Information and the operation of user interface must be understandable.

  • Input Assistance: In some forms, labels are not correctly associated with their input fields.
  • Predictability: Some interface components may behave unpredictably when receiving focus.

4. Robust

Content must be robust enough that it can be interpreted reliably by a wide variety of user agents.

  • Parsing: The HTML code contains some syntax errors or non-standard nesting that may impact parsing by screen readers.
  • Status Messages: Some dynamic content updates may not properly communicate their status to assistive technologies.

Assessment approach

Champagne Perrier-Jouët assessed the accessibility of the website by the following approaches:

  • External evaluation: The website underwent a full compliance audit performed by Datawords. The audit was based on the RGAA 4.1 reference (French government standard), which is technically mapped to WCAG 2.1 AA specifications.
