An advocate of our Mission as we work toward more sustainable future commitments


Our Mission and our commitment to Sustainability are embedded in our strategy, notably through the launch of our Eyes on the Planet sustainability program in 2021, where since then, we have made significant progress in the five key areas of circularity, carbon neutrality, world sight, inclusion and ethics. Taking a decisive step in our ambition to help eliminate uncorrected poor vision by 2050, we created the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, the largest foundation in the world driving inclusive vision care access, which unites many of the Group’s global advocacy and philanthropic actions to improve access to good vision to underserved communities. Our advocacy and philanthropic actions over the years have created over 22,800 vision care access points which helped us reach 585 million people in underserved communities.
