Barrier-free services: DTEK websites offer a special service for people with hearing impairments

DTEK creates the necessary conditions and adapts services to the needs of all customers, including those with disabilities. DTEK Grids Distribution System Operators (DSOs) have introduced a special service for people with hearing impairments allowing them to consult a contact center specialist in sign language.

DTEK Grids adjusts online services to the needs of the widest possible range of customers. Thus, persons with hearing impairments can communicate live with a company specialist, ask questions requiring an individual approach and receive advice on the company's services. To date, DTEK Grids DSOs customers have used this service more than 700 times.

“We are transforming our business in line with DTEK's New Strategy 2030, based on ESG principles and the UN Global Compact sustainable development goals. Introducing inclusive approaches in customer service is an important step towards accessibility for persons with disabilities. Therefore, we adapt our services to be convenient for all customers. This is in line with the Sustainable Development Goal 16 Peace and Justice. We have made sure that our services are easy to use for clients with hearing impairments. With the help of a special form on the website, persons can receive an online video consultation in sign language,” said Ruslan Volynets, DTEK Grids Customer Relations Director.
