AS Watson Group (ASW) website garnered the Silver Award in “Web Accessibility Recognition Scheme” for 2nd year running, and the Group’s “HK Students Sports Awards” website has also won the silver award for the first time this year. As a joint initiative of the Office of the Government Chief Information Officer (OGCIO) and the Equal Opportunities Commission of Hong Kong, the scheme aims to encourage accessible web design amongst enterprises and organisations in various sectors and to recognise for their dedication and achievements in adopting barrier-free web design. ASW is the only Health & Beauty retail company which is awarded in the scheme by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region government.
With the purpose to provide a barrier-free and friendly web environment and allow all members of the community to view, navigate and interact with timely information on the Internet, including peoples with disabilities, ASW’s website is carefully designed to incorporate basic web accessibility features and achieve all 14 judging criteria listed under the Silver Category of the scheme.
ASW is committed to bring more to the lives of everyone we serve, and this spirit is well-versed in our digital exposure by bridging the digital divide for a more caring and inclusive society.
