◾️What is Web Accessibility?

It is not a special accommodation only for the disabled or elderly, but anyone can be in the same situation as a disabled person.

• Temporary injury or illness (e.g., car accident with arm in cast and unable to use arm, eye disease with eye patch and blindness, etc.)
• Age-related changes
• Age-related vision loss (presbyopia, lens changes (yellowish, dark, blurred vision, etc.))
• Eye diseases common in middle-aged and older adults (cataracts, glaucoma, etc.)
  *About half of the patients in their late 70s have cataracts with yellowing changes.
• Age-related hearing loss
• Foreign travelers (if a foreigner who does not understand Japanese is struck by an earthquake while traveling, can he/she obtain evacuation information, etc.)

◾️About UniWeb

UniWeb provides web accessibility features "on the day of deployment" by simply adding a single line of code to all web services.

In order to achieve equal website services for all, we want to put users in various situations, such as those with visual impairments or those who temporarily lose the use of their hands due to injury, in a position to understand correct information through various uses such as voice reading and contrast changes.

 

◾️Uni Company, Inc.

UNY has contributed to the local community for nearly 50 years by supporting customers' daily lives through the operation of general supermarkets 'A pita', grocery stores 'Piago' and 'Yusuto'. With the corporate concept of being 'a unique distribution company that connects marketing and merchandising', it was named 'UNY' derived from the five English words 'unique,' 'united,' 'universal,' 'unity,' and 'unify.'
In the future, we will continue to pursue uniqueness, which is the origin of our company name, in the GMS business that is part of the PPIH group, and strive for further evolution and enhancement of corporate value.
