Brunello Cucinelli Group (hereinafter the "Group") has always promoted values of equity and inclusion and recognizes the importance of guaranteeing, to all users, fair and easy access to its digital content. The centrality that, as a Group, we provide to the individual naturally also encompasses the relationship with the customer. With a constant focus on the quality of the experience offered, the Group is committed to the highest standards of accessibility, in line with the principles of inclusivity characterizing its vision.
In compliance with these principles, and in accordance with Law no. 4. of January 9, 2004, this statement is made with reference to the website shop.brunellocucinelli.com.
Accessibility goals and commitment
The Group's corporate philosophy, rooted in the concept of "humanistic capitalism”, extends to the digital world, where we strive to create experiences that are accessible to all, in deference to a deep sense of social responsibility and inclusivity.
Our approach to digital accessibility is based on the concept of digital craftsmanship, meaning that just as we take care of every detail in our fashion creations, we apply the same meticulousness in the design and development of our digital platforms, striving to create web interfaces that are aesthetically refined and functionally inclusive.
We believe in inclusive innovation, by investing in technologies and skills that enable us to break down digital barriers: our goal is to constantly innovate, ensuring that our digital solutions are at the forefront of both design and accessibility.
We recognize the diversity of our global audience and are committed to creating digital experiences that reflect and respect this cultural richness. Our vision is that of a digital luxury that is welcoming and accessible to all users, regardless of their abilities or cultural background.
To achieve these goals, we have implemented a comprehensive digital accessibility program that includes collaboration with accessibility experts, ongoing training of our development and design team on accessibility best practices, regular testing with users of different abilities to ensure an inclusive experience, and integration of accessibility principles into every step of our digital development process.
Indeed, we believe that accessibility is not just a technical requirement, but a natural extension of our company's values. Our commitment to excellence, human dignity and beauty is reflected in every aspect of our work, including our digital space.
Website accessibility
In line with our above-mentioned goals and commitment to accessibility, we are constantly working to improve the accessibility of our website shop.brunellocucinelli.com.
Our goal is to achieve progressive compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA. This commitment is part of the broader context of our philosophy of digital craftsmanship, where technical excellence blends together with our attention to detail.
To ensure and maintain high levels of accessibility, we have introduced a comprehensive program covering the entire lifecycle of our website. This program, which is an essential part of our inclusive innovation strategy, entails running usability tests that include, among others, the following activities carried out regularly:
- • Design accessibility analysis.
- • Accessibility audits.
- • User testing by involving the disabled community.
- • Accessibility training for all departments involved.
