on SaskEnergy’s external website. Corporate media content is typically developed to include alternative text and closed captioning.
Some accessibility gaps have been identified within SaskEnergy’s technology and communications landscape. This includes the absence of formal accessibility assessments for new employees and a general lack of awareness and training among IT staff on accessibility best practices. Goal We aim to provide employees with barrier-free access to the digital tools and workspaces they need to excel in their roles and support their work effectively. Where possible, digital platforms and communications materials are developed to be inclusive and accessible to users, both internal and external, and adhere to WCAG 2.1 AA standards. 2026 -2028 Actions: Information Technologies Internal Digital Tools Continue to assess internal digital tools and systems to identify gaps and develop accessible alternatives. Integrate Accessibility Assessments Develop a plan to embed accessibility assessments into new employee onboarding and procurement procedures. Targeted Training In collaboration with other business units, develop training and education for employees on inclusive design principles, digital accessibility standards, and assistive technologies, amongst others. 2026 -2028 Actions: Communications Review Digital Communications Content for WCAG 2.1 AA Compliance Conduct an accessibility review of content hosted on SaskEnergy’s corporate intranet (innergy) and external websites. Using the results of the assessment, work toward achieving higher conformance with the WCAG2.1 Level AA. Enhance Brand Guidelines with Accessibility Standards Expand existing brand guidelines to include accessibility- specific standards for language, visual design and digital content to support inclusive communication practices.
