Accompanying the spread of the Internet, the importance of corporate websites is increasing and the number of people who use the World Wide Web as a means of accessing information is also rising. Since The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) - an international standards organization for the Web - announced its Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 in May 1999, initiatives to make Web content more accessible have progressed at many companies in Europe, North America and elsewhere.

In these circumstances, Toshiba Group has worked to increase its website accessibility in accordance with the Basic Commitment of the TOSHIBA group(Toshiba Corporation Website). We aim to ensure that Toshiba Group websites are easy-to-use sites where all visitors can access the necessary information.

Anticipate that users with individual requirements will visit websites depending on the purpose of the website content: people with different objectives, people with and without physical disabilities, people of all ages, people with different levels of experience, and so forth.
The information disseminated on Toshiba websites is a mixture of information targeted at a great number of users (for instance, company information and information on products for the general public), and information targeted at specific users (for instance, content for business partners, content requiring membership, content for children). At times it is not possible to provide all information in a form that is easy to use for all users. However, Toshiba aims to provide information in a method appropriate to the anticipated users according to the purpose of publishing each website.

Anticipate that the Internet access environments of the individual users anticipated in 1. are diverse, and endeavour to ensure that visitors can easily obtain, understand, and manipulate necessary information.
Support technology employed to enable users to access websites is provided by many vendors in accordance with a variety of standards and is upgraded as the occasion demands. Also, the types, combinations, and individual settings of support technologies used by Web users vary according to the purpose and conditions of use. For these reasons, technical and cost constraints make unrealistic the operation of websites that support all the support technologies used by visitors to Toshiba's websites. In this regard, in operating websites Toshiba aims to take note of these trends so as to support as many of these technologies as possible, focusing on frequently used standard support technologies.
