Preparing for the European Accessibility Act: A Practical Guide for IR Professionals

An IR club Schweiz member approached us and asked how they can prepare for the European Accessibility Act (EAA), which is coming into effect on June 28, 2025.

In response, we’d like to highlight a valuable resource developed by our partner Q4:
A practical guide designed to help IROs prepare for the (EAA), created specifically with the European IR community in mind.

What does the guide offer?

As part of Q4’s commitment to supporting IR teams across Europe, the guide offers a step-by-step approach to navigating compliance while also improving digital accessibility for all stakeholders. Whether you’re just beginning or refining your strategy, the guide provides a clear path forward.

It includes:

  • A breakdown of which products and services are affected
  • Insights into how enforcement works across EU member states
  • Clear steps to assess your current level of readiness
  • A sprint-based approach to ensure compliance before the deadline

 

Why is this relevant for IR Club Schweiz members?

While Switzerland is not an EU member state, the EAA applies to any organisation offering digital services within the EU. Preparing early reduces compliance risks and enhances accessibility for a wider investor audience.

You can access the guide for free via Q4’s website.
