This Is the Accessibility Statement for the Finnish Olympic Committee’s Suomisport Service

This accessibility statement applies to the info.suomisport.fi/ website and was drawn up on 10.2.2023. The website is subject to the Act on the Provision of Digital Services (in Finnish), which means that public web services must be accessible.

This evaluation was conducted by an outside expert organization.
