Starbucks, at is very core, is committed to diversity, inclusion and accessibility. These values affect how we create an enjoyable environment for people, both in our coffeehouses and on the web.
For that reason, we are continuously taking steps to improve Starbucks.com and ensure it complies with the best practices and standards defined by Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines of the World Wide Web Consortium.
Our website is monitored and tested regularly by internal and third-party accessibility consultants. These people help us identify usability issues and discover new solutions to further improve the accessibility of our site.
Our current accessibility features include:
- Alternative text detail for appropriate images and other non-text elements.
- Title attributes for additional information about links and indication of new browser windows.
- Structural markup to indicate headings and lists to aid in page comprehension.
- Association of forms with labels.
- Association of all data cells in a data table with their headers.
- JavaScript and style sheets to enhance the appearance and functionality of the site. If these technologies are not available, alternative content is provided where necessary to ensure graceful degradation.
Further embedded documents and multimedia accessibility efforts are under way. As we continue to improve our website, we will reflect any changes here within our accessibility statement. That way you will know the progress we are making.
