Our Mission | EssilorLuxottica

To help people "see more and be more".

At the core of our Mission lies a commitment to transforming lives through groundbreaking technologies that correct, protect and frame the beauty of our most precious and powerful sensory organ: the eyes.

By advancing vision care and embedding new functionalities into our products to support the human senses we rely on most – vision, and now hearing – EssilorLuxottica enhances the way people experience and connect with the world, empowering them to learn, work, express themselves, and embrace life’s boundless possibilities through cutting-edge technologies, a portfolio of beloved brands and a global distribution network.

Vision: a basic human right

As a passionate advocate for vision care, EssilorLuxottica campaigns globally to raise awareness, champion good vision as a basic human right, and position it as a critical driver of global development. Following the launch of our landmark roadmap ‘Eliminating Poor Vision in a Generation’, in 2024 we continued to advocate for the fundamental ‘Right to See’, recognizing the vital role of vision care in global progress. This aligns with the United Nations’ 2021 resolution, ‘Vision for Everyone’, which aims to achieve universal accessibility by 2030.

Since 2013, the Foundation has transformed access to vision care, reaching 979 million people and equipping 86.8 million individuals with eyeglasses. Supported by over 33,400 primary vision care points and delivering training to thousands of vision care entrepreneurs, these efforts have brought sustainable eyecare systems to even the most remote communities globally. This impact has earned EssilorLuxottica a spot on Fortune’s ‘Change the World’ list for the fourth time, recognizing our transformative contributions to global eye health and sustainability.

Globally recognized for our extensive reach and expertise, in 2024 the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation was selected as the first global collaborating partner on the World Health Organization’s SPECS 2030 initiative. This program accelerates the delivery of vision care worldwide by increasing effective refractive error coverage and ensuring universal access to quality vision care. It also aligns with the UN SDGs and ‘Vision for Everyone’ resolution, driving progress in poverty alleviation, health, education, gender equality and economic growth.
