Accessibility Statement – Elbit Systems
Elbit Systems Ltd. (hereinafter also “the Company“) considers the issue of accessibility for people with disabilities to be an important value. Accordingly, the Company invests considerable resources in order for relevant content on the Company’s website to be viewed accessibly.
Beyond that, handling accessibility in Elbit Systems is reflected on four parallel areas, for which structural, organizational and cognitive changes have been implemented.
- Physical accessibility of Company sites and their adaptation to the needs of people with disabilities, who have permission to visit the sites. It should be noted that since Elbit is a Defense Company, its sites are secured and are not open to the public. Entry into them requires prior coordination and security clearance. Information on accessibility adjustments in Elbit sites is detailed in this document.
- Installation of assisting systems for people with disabilities at Company’s sites, such as audio systems and furniture, as well as relevant procedures and guidelines for employees and conducting training on accessibility. The Company’s accessibility coordinators are the address for inquiries regarding this issue.
- Adapting recruitment procedures which allows candidates with disabilities to compete equally, for the many diverse jobs offered by the Company. Information on accessibility adjustments and application submissions in the recruitment process can be found in this document.
- Implementing individual adjustments for employees with disabilities, in order to enable them to perform their tasks while maximizing their personal abilities in an equal manner.
We believe that accessibility is a part of the professional and business environment and we are committed to continuing to promote the equality for people with disabilities at Elbit Systems.
