Accessibility statement

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 at level AA. The website was designed and built to that standard.

• Every menu, form and filter works with a keyboard alone, and the focused element is always clearly marked. Each page starts with a “Skip to main content” link.
• Text contrast is at least 4.5:1, and colour is never the only way information is conveyed.
• Each page has one main heading and ordered sub-headings, so screen-reader users can move through it easily.
• Every meaningful image has a text alternative; decorative images are hidden from screen readers.
• Every form field has a visible label; errors are written next to the field and announced to screen readers.
• Animation stops if your device is set to reduce motion. When you zoom in, layouts reflow instead of scrolling sideways.

Every page is also available in Urdu with a full right-to-left layout — menus, arrows and forms included. Urdu text is set in a Nastaliq typeface, with line spacing adjusted for it.

Each page declares its language so screen readers use the right voice. Names of people and organisations, and titles of documents published in English, stay in Latin script and are marked as English. You can switch language from the top of any page.

• Many PDFs carried over from the previous website (press releases, election documents, MoUs) were produced before this website and may not work well with screen readers. On request, we will provide their content in an accessible format.
• Some content on Urdu pages is still in English only, such as research-report titles and photo-album captions.
• We cannot control the accessibility of external sites we link to (government portals, Facebook, YouTube).

If any part of the website does not work for you, or you need a document in another format, write to gcci@gcci.org.pk with “Accessibility” in the subject. Tell us the page address, the problem, and the device or assistive technology you use.

You can also get help in person at the Chamber, or by phone, during office hours.

This statement was prepared on 13 November 2026, based on the checks made while the website was built.
