A curated list of inclusivity: companies that we applaud
by Joannes Vandermeulen [2 min read]
In general, the term digital inclusion is often targeted to people with disabilities. At Namahn, we broaden the term to include users that are experiencing difficulties that could be situational (e.g. stressed by a crucial process), temporary (e.g. difficult access to the internet) or permanent (e.g. not having the right digital skills). Additionally, the size of our social network can have an impact on how aware and connected we are with new services and products.
Here is a list of companies and organisations that we applaud for their specialised work in inclusion and accessibility, be it in communications and representation, or in physical and digital inclusiveness.
