Humi’s Accessible Client/Customer Service Policy

Humi’s Commitment

Humi is committed to providing and maintaining a respectful environment where there are no barriers for people with disabilities. Whether a person’s disability is visible or not, Humi is dedicated to ensuring everyone has the same opportunities and access to our workplace, employment opportunities, and services.

In fulfilling our commitment, we will identify and remove obstacles to accessibility for all persons with disabilities, putting in place policies, practices, and procedures to ensure that all persons are treated in a manner that maintains their dignity and independence.

We further commit to providing people with disabilities the same opportunity to access our services in the same place, and in a similar way, as other clients/customers and employees.
