Accessibility
Santander Asset Management wishes to provide the maximum level of accessibility to all its website's users. As such, Santander Asset Management is working on its development and maintenance in accordance with accessibility directives defined by the working group Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI), of the Consortium for the World Wide Web (W3C), at level AA.
To support our commitment to digital inclusion, the website has been evaluated to align with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 level AA. As a result of this process, the site has received accessibility certification from Ilunion on 24/06/2025.
The website meets the required accessibility criteria, however continuous work is being carried out in some areas in order to enhance progressively. These include, for example:
- Some PDF documents may not be fully accessible to screen readers
- Some video content does not yet include transcriptions or captions
- Older content, such as news articles or market information published over a year ago, may not fully reflect current accessibility standards
To promote accessibility across the website, Santander Asset Management has adopted the following measures:
- Text size. The fonts used have relative sizes and the user may control the size from their browser.
- Design, navigation and interactivity. In order to achieve coherent browsing throughout the website, the same structural layouts were applied to all pages. The colour and contrast of elements were developed in such a way as to allow all users to accurately distinguish them.
- Interpretation of graphic resources. Images, banners and tables published on the portal include a description which makes it easier to understand the information contained in these graphic resources.
- Links. The majority of portal links provide an explanation on their destination and information on whether or not they will be displayed in a new window.
- Browsers that do not support CSS, JavaScript or plug-ins. If the user accesses the portal via a browser that does not support CSS, the structural markup allows for accurate display of all content. Additionally, alternative content has been incorporated into flash movies and java applets.
In applying these measures, Santander Asset Management has taken into account:
- WCAG rules (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium), at intermediate level (AA). Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2.
- A recommendation by the W3C on the Cascading Style Sheets, Level 2 (CSS 2.1).
- Use of Html code verifying HTML5 recommendations.
