The Nippon Foundation is making the utmost effort to ensure and enhance the accessibility of its official website in accordance with “JIS X 8341-3:2016 Guidelines for older persons and persons with disabilities – Information and communications equipment, software and services – Part 3: Web content.” JIS stands for “Japanese Industrial Standards”.

• Excluding employment information pages (https://www.nippon-foundation.or.jp/recruit/）

Targeted compliance level

JIS X8341-3:2016 Level AA

• The term “compliance” as used in this Website Accessibility Policy refers to “JIS X8341-3:2016 Compliance Level Indication Guidelines for Web Content, March 2016 Edition” published by the Web Accessibility Infrastructure Committee of the Info-communication Access Council.

Known issues

Video Content

We provide captions and sign language (prerecorded) for the audio information included in videos so that our audience can understand our videos even in circumstances where it is not possible to hear the audio or play the audio out loud.The accessibility of content on the Nippon Foundation official website, however, is insufficient in some areas.

Exceptions

The following items are deemed exceptions owing to the difficulty of meeting the success criteria as of June 2022:

• Graphics content for which the original data no longer exists (and therefore cannot be modified)
• Video content
• Some content in PDF format
• Some content provided by external services
