Declaration of Accessibility
Thales is engaged in a process to progressively make its group web site (www.thalesgroup.com) more and more accessible, in the sense of allowing people with various handicaps to be able to navigate and interact with the content and applications found therein.
Where applicable, we also work to bring the site into conformity with established legislation. To that end, Thales has proceeded to audit our web site according to the French Référentiel Général d’Amélioration de l’Accessibilité (RGAA) version 4.0.
Results of the test
A first audit, produced by the company Atalan in September and December 2020, showed that the Thales web site cannot be considered to be accessible as of December 2020. An improvement plan was rolled-out in 2021 with a goal to achieve a minimum of 50% of the criteria of the RGAA version 4.0 by years end.
The counter-audit conducted in June 2021 revealed that 55% of the criteria of the RGAA version 4.0 are respected, making Thales group website partially accessible.
Details about this counter-audit can be found on the french version of this page.
Improvement plan
Thales began discussions in 2022 regarding a project to redesign its website. This project was approved at the end of 2022, and considerations for accessibility have been incorporated since 2023, at the time of writing the request for proposals for the redesign project. The goal is to achieve full accessibility of the website.
Two main areas are addressed:
- Developments: Accessibility criteria were taken into account during the design and development phase of the website in 2024 and early 2025. A pre-audit was conducted in June 2025, and corrections for any non-conformities are currently being implemented. The final audit before the website launch will also be followed by a correction phase and then a counter-audit.
- Contribution: A guide of best practices for accessibility was provided to the site contributors and continuous support is provided to them on the topic.
