Web Accessibility Policy

SUGI Holdings Co., Ltd. and SUGI Pharmacy Group work to comply with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG 2.1) as well as the Japanese Industrial Standard Guidelines For Older Persons And Persons With Disabilities—Information And Communications Equipment, Software And Services, Part 3: Web Content (JIS X 8341-3:2016 ) in order to ensure, maintain, and improve the accessibility of the websites operated by both companies.

Websites Covered by the Policy

We will work on the above websites first and gradually move on to our other websites.

Exceptions

This Web Accessibility Policy does not apply to some specific circumstances as exceptions. These exceptions are as follows:

  • Content other than HTML, such as PDF files

    At present, all of our PDF files are not included in the scope of this Policy since bringing all of them into conformance is difficult from the standpoint of technology and information volume.

  • Content, links, and external services provided by third parties

    Some web pages use external services and contain code that we cannot directly manage or control. Such pages are excluded from the scope of this Policy.

Examples of external services:

  • Video sharing platforms, such as YouTube
  • Google Maps
  • Embedding of social media posts
