Accessibility statement

Łódź Special Economic Zone S.A. is committed to making its website accessible, in accordance with the Act of 4 April 2019 on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies (available in Polish).

This accessibility statement applies to the website sse.lodz.pl/en.

  • Date of publication of the website:
  • Date of the last substantial update:

This is a translation; the Polish version is the legally binding statement.

Compliance status

This website is partially compliant with the annex to the Act of 4 April 2019 on the digital accessibility of websites and mobile applications of public sector bodies, due to the non-compliances and the exemptions listed below.

Non-accessible content

Non-compliance with the annex

  • YouTube videos

    Three YouTube videos embedded on seven pages (the home page in Polish and English, the “Business development” page in both language versions, the #Grohmania initiative page in both language versions and one warehouse page) have only automatically generated captions; they have no author-prepared captions, transcripts or audio description (WCAG 2.1 success criteria 1.2.2, 1.2.3 and 1.2.5).

    By 31 March 2027 we will add author-prepared captions, transcripts and audio description (we will omit audio description only where the soundtrack of a video conveys all the essential visual information), or we will replace the videos with material that meets these requirements.

    Accessible alternative: The content of these pages is available as text, independently of the videos.

    Planned fix: 31 March 2027

  • Virtual 360° tour of the event spaces

    The virtual 360° tour of the event spaces has an accessibility menu (keyboard operation, larger text, high-contrast mode, text-to-speech), but the hotspots in the panoramas are not available to screen readers, and some buttons in the standard view have no text labels.

    Accessible alternative: Information about each space (floor area, capacity, equipment, photos with descriptions) is available on the event venues page: sse.lodz.pl/en/event-venues/.

Content not within the scope of the applicable legislation

  • The investment areas map. The essential information about every plot, including its location, area and parameters, is available in the accessible list of investment areas and on each offer card.

    Basis: Article 3 of the Act — maps whose essential information we provide in an accessible form.

  • Documents in the Public Information Bulletin (BIP) prepared by other entities (for example, bids and letters from contractors in procurement procedures) that the Zone did not produce, fund or acquire.

    Basis: Article 3 of the Act — third-party content that we neither fund, develop nor control.

Preparation of this accessibility statement

  • This statement was prepared on .
  • The statement was last reviewed on .

We prepared this statement on the basis of an evaluation carried out by Kryptonum sp. z o.o. (accessibility test report RAP-ET-005/2026, WCAG 2.1 AA, of 23 September 2026, 50 success criteria at levels A and AA) and our own assessment.

Facilities, limitations and other information

  • The test of 23 September 2026 covered 20 URLs at three screen widths in both language versions (automated axe-core run, keyboard walkthrough, contrast check of text on photos, browser accessibility tree, review of the alternative text of 3,023 images in the content management system), as well as 40 per-view reports from August and September 2026. Of the 50 criteria, 44 are met, 3 do not apply to the website and 3 are not met (videos, see “Non-accessible content”). The test did not include screen reader sessions or the 360° tour, which runs on an external service (spacer360.pl); ŁSSE assessed the tour with its own test on 22 October 2026 (automated axe-core 4.10.2 test and keyboard walkthrough). An additional automated test by ŁSSE on 14 October 2026 (axe-core 4.10.2 on 9 subpages) found no errors detectable by this tool in the tested sample.
  • Every page starts with a “Skip to main content” link that lets you bypass the navigation.
  • The website can be operated with a keyboard; interactive elements have a visible focus indicator; the Escape key closes the menu, the search and dialog windows and returns the focus.
  • The carousel on the home page has a pause button, and animations do not start when reduced motion is turned on in the operating system.
  • Forms mark required fields in the field label, and after a submission error they move the focus to the first invalid field and show a text message.
  • Every page has its content language marked and a single main heading; the content is structured with headings.
  • All images have alternative text.
  • The website adapts its layout to phone and tablet screens.
  • The website is available in Polish and English.
  • The website has no mobile app.
