Accessibility Label
The Accessibility label delivered by CERTIVEA is designed for companies (Property, Work Environment, Human Resources and CSR Departments), public actors, as well as property companies, developers and investors seeking to promote and have their buildings’ accessibility and usability performance recognised by everyone.
Accessibility is the only label of its type, anticipating changes in society (ageing, etc.).
It improves the reception, movement, comfort and safety of all users of buildings, whatever their capacity, particularly pregnant women, elderly people and those with a permanent or temporary disability (crutches following an accident, etc.).
It helps the various categories of property stakeholders make all non-residential buildings more inclusive (offices, retail outlets and hotels, etc.), whether they are under construction, in renovation or in operation. Its scope does not include health establishments and sports buildings.
Accessibility can be sought for a year or for three or five-year cycles. Its scheme was developed by CERTIVEA and the Handigo architectural agency.
