Products for all

TRENDS IN USER NEEDS Inclusive design Ensuring mobile tech meets the accessibility requirements for people with disabilities, compliant with the Directive (EU) 2019/882 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 April 2019 on the accessibility requirements for products and services, which applies to the entire EU from 28 June 2025 and includes e.g. telephones and web shops. This focuses on making content : 

  • perceivable, operable, understandable and robust.
  • Enhanced welfare technology for healthcare and elderly care services, including digital support for testing, result communication, remote communication and monitoring.
  • Accessible digital public services tailored to individuals with disabilities, ensuring equal opportunities in accessing essential communication services. Usability and User Experience Focusing on intuitive interfaces and seamless interactions to accommodate users with varying abilities and preferences. Continuous efforts towards accessibility, addressing issues related to navigation, especially for users with motor impairments or relying on assistive functionality. Continuous Learning Lifelong learning and educational initiatives to keep up with technology developments and enhance digital skills.
  • Mobile App Development: A focus on user experience and usability is crucial in mobile tech development, leading to continuous improvements in mobile app functionality.

Current status

Doro’s strong position at a growing market for accessible tech

There is a strong belief in new tech helping people. People are today more or less dependent on high tech products for work and/or to handle daily life, with different needs and interests. Doro will continue to make digital life simple, safe and customised – to be a trustworthy partner both on an individual and societal level. This unique position will strengthen the company moving forward, in not only selling high tech products but helping people and societies in preventing loneliness or technical/digital exclusion in all age groups. There is a big need connected to Doro’s new business strategy: Respondents recognise that Doro products are user friendly, trustworthy and empowering people with additional needs. Doro will build on this recognition in the coming development and communication. Pricing is a crucial factor to access high tech. Doro will benefit from being an alternative to people in all ages. The availability of new technology is perceived as high, and the biggest reason for those who do not think it is available is that it is too expensive. Since cost is a significant barrier, Doro will continue offering alternatives to mainstream products, ensuring competitive pricing without compromising on desired features. Emphasise customised features of high tech: Doro has a significant advantage in offering customised products and services, including all people to be connected to family, friends and communities. Doro's products offer ease of use and are specialised in user-friendly technology. In addition, with accessible customer service and support, the users will always have a safe and secure experience, meeting specific customer needs. Promote technological advancements: Doro will continue its efforts to educate and support all people about the benefits of using new tech and digital services and products, as this aligns with Doro's branding as an up-to-date and reliable partner, especially targeting people more resistant to change.

Regulations and requirements

The social side of sustainability is core to Doro. This is best expressed through the passion for creating products that help users live a better life. It is also reflected in Doro’s strong corporate values, and internal policies providing a foundation for a healthy and productive work environment as well as the expectations on supplier conduct. Transparency is imperative when moving towards sustainability and a common reporting format will support this. In 2024, Doro has made considerable progress in preparing for the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). Through the Double Materiality Analysis, DMA, key reporting areas were identified: climate, resource use and circular economy, the Doro workforce, workers in the supply chain, consumers and end-­­ users, and governance. The company has appointed responsible parties for each area and has started to integrate sustainability strategies into its long-term plans. An inventory of all relevant parts of greenhouse gas emissions has been initiated and is expected to be finalised during early 2025. Although the remaining areas to assess are related to the carbon footprint of the products, it is already evident that product emissions are the largest contributors. Strategies, activity plans, and metrics for all areas are still being defined.
