Luxottica Sustainability Actions

Supports vision care access

Independent analysis says EssilorLuxottica has helped provide sustainable vision care to 110 million people in underserved communities between 2013 and 2022. The company is described as a major player in eyewear and vision care, so this work matters because it can improve sight, safety, and daily life for people who might otherwise struggle to get glasses. The same source also says the company serves more than 700 million customers across 150 countries.

Developed eye-health products

The company’s research and development work includes more than 12,000 patents and 1,873 designs. One example named in the source is Crizal® Prevencia®, described as the first clear lens that blocks harmful blue light and UV radiation. In plain terms, this means the product is meant to help protect eyes from some light exposure while still looking like a normal clear lens.

Recycles part of its waste

A 2024 impact analysis says EssilorLuxottica generates about 116,000 tonnes of waste and recycles 57% of it. That shows the company is recovering some material instead of sending everything to disposal, but it also leaves a large amount of waste that still needs to be managed. The same source says the company also produces end-of-life waste from used products, which remains a challenge.

Uses lower-impact materials

Good On You says Ray-Ban, which is owned by EssilorLuxottica, uses some lower-impact materials and some recycled packaging. Good On You is a fashion rating site that checks public information on environmental and labour issues. The same assessment also says the brand has not published a full breakdown of the materials it uses, so the public cannot see the full picture.

Set emissions reduction targets

Good On You reports that Ray-Ban has set a science-based target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in both its direct operations and its supply chain. A science-based target is a climate goal that follows a method used to line up company cuts with climate science. However, Good On You also says there is no evidence the brand is on track to meet it.
