ESG without availability is greenwashing. MouthPad exposes a gap in company thinking.
Companies are increasingly reporting emissions, diversity and corporate governance.
But almost no one still measures the real technological availability of the processes on which work, education and participation in the digital economy are based today.
If digital transformation does not include people with motor, respiratory or neurological limitations, then the transformation is not responsible.
It's a selective transformation.
An example? Solutions like MouthPad from Augmental.
They do not “help” people with disabilities in the social sense.
They expose the false assumption on which most digital systems are designed: the existence of a "standard user".
Inclusion is not based on declarations in the ESG report.
It involves designing interfaces that:
– they do not wear good hands,
– do not require full breath control,
– do not exclude people with neurological damage,
– allow real work, science and decision-making.
From the perspective of the IZOB Employers' Union is a systemic theme, not an image.
The ESG Audit, which does not examine technological availability, omits the key dimension of the ‘S’.
➡️ Legislative recommendations, which focus exclusively on emissions and reporting, ignore structural digital exclusion.
Digitalisation of public and private services without accessibility standards creates a new permanent barrier to participation in the economy.
Availability is not an addition to the ESG.
He's a prerequisite for his credibility.
If technology becomes an infrastructure of social and economic life,
This lack of access to this infrastructure is a form of systemic exclusion – no matter how green the report is.
