ESCP Business School commits to digital accessibility with EqualWeb
Paving the way for a more inclusive digital future
In our digital world, web accessibility has become a crucial issue in ensuring equal opportunities for all. Today, nearly 1.3 billion people worldwide live with a disability, yet more than 96% of websites remain inaccessible* to these users. Recognising this reality, ESCP Business School has taken a significant step by integrating the EqualWeb tool into its website. This ambitious project, supported by the ESCP Foundation and made possible thanks to the generosity of alumnus Thibault Basquin, reflects our commitment to inclusivity and accessibility for all.
A commitment to inclusive digital experiences
Web accessibility ensures that individuals with visual, auditory, motor, or cognitive impairments can interact seamlessly with websites and online platforms. At ESCP, we are committed to offering every individual, regardless of their condition, a smooth and inclusive digital experience. In this spirit, the EqualWeb tool was selected.
EqualWeb is an innovative technological solution designed to tailor a website to the specific needs of users. With just a few clicks, this solution offers various accessibility features, such as text enlargement, voice navigation, and contrast adjustments for the visually impaired. It guarantees a comfortable browsing experience for all our visitors.
A tool for ESCP students and staff
EqualWeb is not only integrated into ESCP’s public website but is also available on our intranet CampusLife. This ensures that our internal community, including students, academic staff, and administrative personnel, can access resources and interact with services with tailored accessibility features to suit their specific needs.
A step toward a more accessible web
The implementation of EqualWeb on our website marks a new milestone in our effort to make ESCP Business School accessible to all. This project is part of a broader commitment to inclusion and equity, values that are central to our mission. To activate the accessible mode, simply click on the EqualWeb logo, visible on every page of our website, and customise the settings to meet your individual needs.
We are proud to contribute to creating a more inclusive digital environment and invite all users to explore this new feature today.
Accessibility certification
In partnership with EqualWeb, ESCP Business School has also obtained an Accessibility Certificate, confirming that our website meets international accessibility standards. You can view the certificate here.
With this initiative, ESCP Business School reaffirms its commitment to providing an accessible educational environment in a digital era where technology should no longer be a barrier but a driver of inclusion.

Making the ESCP website and the CampusLife student app accessible is opening a door for everyone, including those whose challenges are not visible. Inclusion should embrace all needs.
