Climate action starts by empowering sustainable eyewear
ABOUT
We´re orchestrating a paradigm shift in how eyewear resources are regarded and employed.
Pioneering Change: In the realm of eyewear, we’ve taken up the mantle of change as trailblazers by benchmarking and visualize the difference of those who really are making radical sustainable change and those who just are saying popular phrases.
WHAT WE DO
Our purpose is to make sustainable transformative progress from the very foundation of the eyewear industry.
The majority of materials utilized in eyewear production are sourced from diverse origins like natural resources, plastics, and energy-intensive processes. At the heart of our mission is a commitment to revolutionize this landscape by starting with the source of the materials being chosen.
Soil
Soil puts food on our plates, purifies the water, and is the beginning of all material production. We’re striving to keep it healthy.
Biodiversity
Like food and the air we breathe, material production depends on healthy ecosystems which need a wide variety of animals, plants, and microorganisms. That’s why we’re supporting biodiversity.
Water
The basis of life as we know it, water, needs to be treated as the precious resource it is. We work to make sure it is used responsibly and put back safely into our systems.

Crafting Sustainability
Explore fibers and materials
The majority of materials that converge to craft our frames and lenses originate in diverse landscapes - be it agricultural fields, verdant forests, or finite fossil deposits. With a commitment to sustainability at our core, we stand as advocates for conscientious material sourcing and utilization. Much like the earth-loving individuals who champion eco-causes, we are steadfast in our dedication to the planet. Through innovation and mindful choices, we endeavor to forge eyewear that resonates with the environmentally conscious consumer
Explore sustainability standards
We’ve developed a set of robust standards to give the industry a way to authenticate their sustainability claims from raw material to final product. They fill the gaps in existing guidelines and verification tools, and we regularly adapt and upgrade them to meet evolving needs.
See industry progress in materials sourcing
We can’t be confident of reaching our Climate+ goal if don’t track our progress. That’s why we’re pulling together the numbers that help us pinpoint where change has been made so far and orientate our actions on where we need to go next.
Get Involved
Take the next step on your sustainability journey
We recognize that everyone’s journey will be different, so we provide the industry with tools, resources, and initiatives that mean everyone, from farmers to suppliers and brands, can find the next step to take on their sustainability pathway.
