We strongly believe that Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles should guide us toward a future built on trust, responsibility, and meaningful impact. Our dedication to these principles goes beyond meeting standards, it’s about actively forging a better, more sustainable path for our industry and communities.
We're dedicated to improving vision and fostering a greener future for new generations. That's why we've planted 600 trees around the world, contributing to the growth of our Advance Now forest in collaboration with Treedom. In their first ten years of life these trees will absorb 181,000 Kg of CO2.
We are proud to share that we have maximized the benefits of our 6.5 kW solar panel system, which offsets approximately 3,650 kg of CO₂ emissions annually and generates 6,100 kWh of clean energy. Additionally, we have completely refurbished our office fixtures, enhancing both sound and heat insulation.
This upgrade is expected to reduce our heating consumption by 20%, creating a more efficient and comfortable workplace environment. Through remote connections, we serve our global clients, reducing the need for visiting them directly.

Our collaboration with global partners, clients, industry associations, and stakeholders ensures that we create positive social impact across the contact lens ecosystem. We invest in training, encourage open dialogue, and prioritize product quality, fostering a culture that respects diversity and prioritizes well-being. Through our indirect influence, empowering our clients to offer better products that enhance their customers’ vision and quality of life, we help raise standards of care and improve the lives of countless individuals worldwide.
By integrating our FocalPoints ambition to bring better vision with Treedom’s agroforestry projects, we now pursue 13 out of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. Treedom’s work brings environmental and social benefits to developing areas: communities learn valuable skills, gain lasting ownership of the trees, improve their nutrition through fruit harvests, and earn income by selling produce in local markets.
Transparent governance and ethical decision-making are essential to our long-term success. Our adherence to UNI EN ISO 13485:2021 international standards, and our ongoing improvements in data protection, cybersecurity, and compliance underscore the value we place on integrity and accountability. This commitment safeguards our operations and reinforces the trust of our stakeholders.
We challenge ourselves to take steps to enhance the lives of our team with tangible actions. In 2024 we’ve introduced a free additional health policy for all employees. This comprehensive program includes coverage for health issues, preventive care, and specialist services, ensuring that our people have the support and ease of mind they need to thrive, anywhere they are. Global medical support ensures that traveling employees feel secure and confident, enabling them to perform at their best. This initiative extends beyond standard health coverage, highlighting our unwavering commitment to employee well-being.
We’re taking deliberate steps to strengthen our ESG commitments. By refining sustainability metrics, forging new partnerships, and embracing innovation, we set a clear path for continuous improvement. Our ESG initiatives promise a responsible, future-focused company that uplifts the industry and society as a whole. We look forward to evolving these practices as we continue to lead in specialty contact lens software and services.
