Eyes On Brassall Sustainability Actions

Carbon and energy work

EssilorLuxottica says it is cutting its environmental footprint by improving energy use and moving toward carbon neutrality by 2025, with a 2023 target in Europe. It says it is increasing renewable electricity use, including a global electricity sourcing mix designed to become 100% renewable over time. It also says it is updating manufacturing processes to reduce water and electricity use. These steps are part of its wider climate work under the “Eyes on Carbon” pillar.

Circular eyewear design

The company says it is shifting away from fossil-based materials and embedding circular design in products by 2025. Circularity means keeping materials in use for longer through reuse, repair, and recycling instead of throwing them away. It describes a “4 Rs” approach: Research, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. The source also gives an example of sunglasses made with fishing nets through a partnership with Bureo, showing how waste materials can be turned into new products.

Access to vision care

Through the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, the group says it is working to eliminate uncorrected poor vision by 2050. It says it has created 25,500 sustainable access points and 232 vision centers worldwide, and that its non-profit clinics have helped provide vision care to more than 562 million people over the last decade. The company also says it supports free eye care clinics and a donation program where collected glasses are recycled and a cash donation is made to the foundation.

Inclusion and ethics

EssilorLuxottica says its sustainability work also covers inclusion and ethics. It says diversity, equity and inclusion are part of its culture across more than 190,000 employees. It also says it takes a 360-degree view of supply chain operations and uses strict manufacturing and safety standards. In plain terms, that means it says it checks how products are made and where materials come from, rather than only looking at the final product.

Commercial Eyes ESG steps

Commercial Eyes says it is working on environmental, social, and governance (ESG, meaning how a business handles environmental impact, people issues, and leadership) goals. It says it is reducing paper use, using 100% renewable energy supplied by GreenPower, and measuring and reporting its impact more clearly. It also says it is preparing a reconciliation action plan in 2023-24 and is taking action on modern slavery risks and human rights issues in its work with clients and partners.
