    Our commitment to accessibility

    EDC is committed to creating accessible, inclusive, and equal experiences for our customers, our employees, and Canadians. Our initial accessibility plan describes EDC actions over the next three years to prevent or remove barriers to accessibility for all, specifically people with disabilities, to support the Accessible Canada Act (ACA) goal of a barrier-free Canada by 2040.

    Our customers

    We partner with accessibility subject matter experts to support the growth and success of Canadian exporters.

    Our employees

    We collaborate with disability partners to create a welcoming and inclusive workplace for current and future employees.
