At Treetrom Foundation, we are deeply committed to ensuring that our digital presence reflects the same values of inclusion, care, and respect that guide our environmental and community work. Our website exists to inform, educate, inspire, and engage individuals and organizations who share our vision of restoring harmony between humanity and nature.

In line with our belief that every human being has the right to participate in the stewardship of our planet, we strive to ensure that our website is accessible to all people, including those living with disabilities, those using assistive technologies, and those accessing the internet under varying conditions and devices. Accessibility is not simply a feature for us, it is a reflection of our commitment to equity, dignity, and universal participation.

​

Our Guiding Philosophy on Accessibility

​

Just as the environment thrives when every tree plays its role in the ecosystem, communities thrive when every individual is empowered to participate fully. We believe accessibility is a fundamental aspect of social responsibility and environmental justice.

• Inclusion is not optional, it is essential.

• Access to information and engagement is a human right.

• Digital experiences should empower, not exclude.

By ensuring that our online platforms are barrier-free, we honor the principle that everyone has a voice in shaping a greener future.

​

Accessibility Standards and Framework

​

To provide a usable and inclusive digital experience, the Treetrom Foundation website is being designed and evaluated in accordance with:

​

• Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA

• ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Web Requirements (as internationally recognized guidance)

• Universal Design Principles to support users of diverse abilities and devices.​

 

These guidelines provide internationally vetted standards for ensuring content is:
