To help people around the world "see more and be more".
This guides our strategy, inspires our approach to sustainable development and ultimately drives our ambition to help eliminate uncorrected poor vision in a generation. We believe that good vision is a basic human right and has the power to change everything. It allows us to unleashour full potential, allowing us to learn better, keep us safe and promote a more inclusive society. Yet uncorrected poor vision affects 1 in 3 people around the world.
OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation
Driven by this Mission, we created the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, which aims to help eliminate uncorrected poor vision by 2050 by raising awareness on the importance of good vision and creating permanent access to vision care globally.
It is the largest foundation in the world driving inclusive vision care access, providing a platform that harnesses the commitment of our employees and partners. The Foundation’s global actions include creating sustainable access points; innovating for affordable solutions; funding subsidized and free services, advocacy and awareness; driving engagement; and creating partnerships to enable like-minded non-profit organizations and governments to expand access to vision care.
We see a bright future. A world where everyone can “see more and be more”.
We believe that good vision is a basic human right
As a powerful advocate for the vision cause, a passionate campaigner for greater awareness and a pioneering innovator with solutions and styles that bringimprovements to the delivery of vision care,we are dedicated to elevating the importance of good vision as both a basic human right and a key lever for global development. Following the launch of our groundbreaking roadmap "Eliminating Poor Vision in a Generation" at the UN General Assembly in 2019 with the support of more than 20 NGOs and leaders in eye health,we remaincommitted to advocating for the fundamental 'Right to See' recognizing its crucial role in global progress. This aligns with the 2021 UN resolution, 'Vision for Everyone', which unanimously aims to achieve global accessibility by 2030. The inclusion of eyecare in UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) supports the Group's own goals and sustainable actions to help eliminate poor vision in a generation.
Since 2013, the Group, along with its partners, has created permanent access to vision care for over 762 million people, equipping 71.8 million people in underserved regions with eyeglasses and creating rural livelihoods in vision care through 27,700 rural optical points.
