Web Accessibility Statement
Bord Bia is committed to making its websites and mobile applications accessible, in accordance with European Union (Accessibility Websites and Mobile Applications of Public Sector Bodies) Regulations 2020.
We are actively working to increase the accessibility and usability of our website and in doing so adhere to many of the available standards and guidelines.
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 Irish Food & Drink website is targeting WCAG 2.1 level AA, in accordance with the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1. These guidelines explain how to make web content more accessible for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines will help make the web more user friendly for all people.
As we carry out regular testing and accessibility auditing in order to ensure ongoing accessibility compliance on our website, we may become aware of certain areas/modules/templates on the website where we could improve in terms of accessibility. We strive to maintain a Level AA conformance to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.
Please find below the areas which we are currently working to improve:

Please contact us if you become aware of any other issues that have not been set out above.
This statement was prepared on 27th June 2023 and was last reviewed on the 16th of January 2025.
The statement was prepared following a self-assessment by Bord Bia of its websites and mobile applications and an assessment by a third party web designer against WCAG 2.1.
