An advocate of a more sustainable future


Taking an important step toward a more sustainable future, we introduced our Corporate Responsibility program titled Eyes on the Planet, which outlines our strategy for sustainability with commitments toward carbon neutrality, circularity, world sight, inclusion and ethics. Marking a new chapter in our journey to accelerate our unique Mission activities and help eliminate uncorrected poor vision by 2050, we also launched the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, the largest foundation in the world leading efforts for inclusive vision access. This plays a major role in supporting our sustainability strategy and our commitment to advocate for good vision as a basic human right.
