Siteimprove and European Disability Forum Sign Corporate Sponsorship Agreement

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK – October 25, 2018 – Siteimprove, a global software company empowering teams to optimize their digital performance, has signed a corporate sponsorship agreement for 2018 with the European Disability Forum (EDF), an independent NGO that defends the interests of 80 million Europeans with disabilities.

Having previously cooperated on web accessibility initiatives throughout the years, Siteimprove and EDF jointly decided to formalize and strengthen their efforts by signing the commitment statement. This corporate sponsorship agreement is the first of this nature for the EDF.

“We’re proud of this announcement as Siteimprove is a leading provider of tools and expertise for web accessibility around the world,” said Catherine Naughton, director of the European Disability Forum.

As part of the agreement, EDF and Siteimprove will jointly organize at least one event per year based on themes of web accessibility and standardization. EDF will also provide technical input to Siteimprove on work perspectives of persons with disabilities. Earlier this year, Siteimprove and EDF co-participated in a roundtable at the United Nations’ 11th session of the Conference of States Parties Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in June.

Global Head of Accessibility Relations for Siteimprove, Stein-Erik Skotkjerra, is excited to work in partnership with EDF to make meaningful changes to the web accessibility world. “EDF is such an important organization in the accessibility field. They’re real go-getters that actually get things done which is a value we share at Siteimprove. I’m confident that together we can make positive advances.”
