Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct presents the set of values and principles that underpin all of our work at Oxford University Press. It also outlines our commitments across a range of important ethical and social concerns. We have two versions of our Code; one for our employees and one for our partners.

Our commitment to accessibility
At Oxford University Press, we always seek to make our products accessible to, and inclusive of all our users, including those with visual, hearing, cognitive, or motor impairments.
To support these goals, we follow the general principles of web usability and universal design and, where feasible, endeavour to make our platforms and services accessible to all, regardless of an individual’s impairment or the device used.
We target adherence to level AA of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) in order to help our users take full advantage of the accessibility features provided by their chosen device, web browser or operating system, or assistive technology.
Specific products and platforms have their own accessibility statements which describe their level of accessibility.
We publish books in a range of different electronic formats including PDF, EPUB3, and HTML across our platforms.
We follow the general principles of eBook accessibility to ensure eBooks can be used with technologies that support accessibility. This includes considering layout, reading order, and the use of alternative text.
Accessibility levels across eBooks vary depending on the age and format of the product.
Our EPUBs specifically contain accessibility features that support:
- Flexible layout: this allows text and images to “flow” to fit the screen size, making it easy to read on any device without needing to zoom or scroll excessively.
- Personalized reading experiences: readers can customize their experience by adjusting text size and font. Highlighting, bookmarking, and note-taking functionality is available in most eReading platforms.
- Read aloud functionality: this is useful to those who prefer listening to text.
Making these features available across our older eBooks is an ongoing project. If you need support with the accessibility of a particular eBook, please contact us.
Please contact [email protected] if you have any feedback on accessibility that you would like to share with us.
