Our General Shareholders’ Meeting section complies with the Double A accessibility standard
We have certified the web pages in our General Shareholders’ Meetingsection to the World Wide Web Consortium’s Double A accessibility standard. We are thus upholding our commitment to promoting the accessibility of our corporate website so that everyone can access it on an equal footing.
What is web accessibility? And what are the WCAG?
Web accessibility is the combination of technology and standards of implementation and design that enable the greatest possible number of people to use the Internet, including those who have some form of disability. The Double A standard is the intermediate level set by the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the W3C and the one most commonly required. It is awarded to those pages that meet advanced criteria of web accessibility, such as the availability of subtitles for videos and the facility to increase text size, among others.
For their part, the WCAG are recommendations for web site accessibility. Their purpose is to ensure that all types of pages, including multimedia pages, work correctly for all users. In general, for a website to be accessible, no special design is necessary. It is sufficient for it to be flexible so that people can interact with it from different input devices (keyboard, mouse, etc.) and for the different technologies that it uses (Flash, Java, PDF or other plug-ins) to be compatible with accessibility.
In addition, these measures ensure that the pages are more manageable. By making browsing easier and allowing access to pages from various devices, their user experience, usability and search engine positioning are improved.
Iberdrola, committed to accessibility
At Iberdrola one of our prime objectives is to ensure that everyone, regardless of disabilities, age or the type of technology used, is able to access our corporate website without problems.
Based on this commitment, the Iberdrola website has been designed in compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 established by the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium). These guidelines are also the core for standards such as ISO/IEC 40500 or UNE 139803:2012.

Moreover, ILUNION Technology and Accessibility has certified on May 23, 2025 the compliance of the section dedicated to the General Shareholders' Meeting 2025 with the Double A level according to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 of the Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium, thus renewing the certification already obtained for the Meeting since 2020.

The following are some of the functionalities implemented on the Iberdrola website to enable easier access to all web content:
- Visual features (typeface, font and screen colours, etc.) of the website are defined by a style sheet, enabling users to adjust texts to their own preferences.
- Font sizes are defined in relative units to let users enlarge or reduce the text size from browser options.
- If a user accesses www.iberdrola.com with a browser that does not support a style sheet, this is not a major problem, since all contents can still be accessed with the Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) set at off.
- Web pages are clearly structured for users who want to view the full content of the website, or using support systems as graphic display readers, and users who disable the style sheet, etc. With this in mind, we have made HTML-coded section headers, lists and all other elements contributing to the general understanding of the website.
