Inclusivity Statement
At iBec Creative, we embrace diversity, equity and inclusion at our core. Our commitment to ensuring our website is accessible to people with disabilities is deeply rooted in our belief that by doing so, we create better experiences for all. We take pride in our ability to implement the principles of Universal Design from the start, reducing the need for individual accommodations. In order to provide the best possible experience for everyone, we also utilize accessiBe, an interactive third party tool and world-leading web accessibility technology to ensure compliance with WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance standards.
Our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) plan provides a framework for internal initiatives as well as crucial community engagement. When differences of ability, race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, age and religion are not only respected and supported, but represented and celebrated, everyone wins.
As a creative agency, it’s just as important for us to live these values as it is for us to help educate and empower the companies we choose to work with. From nonprofits to startups and well-known brands, we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to join the global conversation on accessibility and inclusion.
Our efforts are ongoing, We welcome employees input and suggestions.
