The information below will help you find your way around our website.

The www.veolia.com website has been designed to be accessible to as many web users as possible. It implements the standards and directives defined by the World Wide Web consortium (W3C) in its Web accessibility initiative.

Website layout

Alternative viewing styles

The layout of www.fondation.veolia.com is based on alternative style sheets allowing you to view the website in different display schemes:

  • a graphic version using the Foundation's colours
  • a light version with fewer visuals aimed primarily at people with a sight disability and people using a mobile device such as a PDA or mobile phone.

These display schemes can be selected:

  • from the Display menu in browsers supporting alternative style sheets
  • from the "Light version" or "Graphic version" link at the top of each page.

Size of characters

To allow users to modify the display scheme of the www.fondation.veolia.com website and, in particular, the size of the characters displayed, layout is based on relative (em units and percentages) rather than absolute units (pixels).

To change the size of the characters:

  • Ctrl + mouse trackwheel
  • Or "Display / Text size" menu

Resizing the website

The website can be resized - width 800 to 1024 pixels - to suit different screen resolutions.

Languages

The Foundation's website is published in two languages: French and English.

The different versions are accessible from the "Version française" or "English version" links on each page.

Navigation and links

  • The website plan is accessible from a link at the bottom of each page.
  • The search engine is accessible from each page.
  • Links to the main website channels are included on each page.

Skip links

The light version of the website contains fast access links for direct access to:

  • the content of the page;
  • the general navigation menu (level 1);
  • the navigation menu inside any given section

Tabular Navigation

It is possible to browse through the site using the sole keyboard: the Tab key can be used to move from one link to another. Use the Enter key to validate.

A title is allocated to each link, to describe the link in detail, unless the text of the link gives a complete description of the target. To view the title, position the cursor or any other pointing device on the link text.

Comfort

The time needed to download the site pages is reduced as much as possible.

However, to ensure optimum comfort of use, in particular when downloading certain documents, the consultation of the multimedia animations and the videos on the site, we recommend a high bandwith Internet connection.
