Because of The Planet

LensCrafters is committed to protecting our environment and all the people who are a part of it for a better future. Because they care.

The Key Pillars for Building A Better Future

Because Carbon Efficiency

Reducing climate impact is essential. Their Responsible Shipping option for online orders uses ground instead of air transport to significantly reduce emissions, and any emissions that are created are offset through climate protection projects.

LensCrafters is committed to revamping their fleet of stores so that all new refurbishments or new openings have LED lights and HVAC equipment with higher energy efficiency. Most of North America’s energy production comes from thermal power plants, which burn either fossil fuels or nuclear fuel, releasing carbon emissions. Using energy efficient appliances reduces the reliance on these plants and increases carbon efficiency.

Because Circularity

LensCrafters is working to contribute to a circular economy with a focus on waste reduction and digitalization in their fleet of stores. They are also proud to offer a growing selection of frames containing bio-based or recycled materials.

A circular economy — in which resources are conserved by extending the lifespan of products and materials — is the key to reducing waste that pollutes our environment. They have focused on digitalization in their fleet of stores to reduce waste from paper that is often produced just to be discarded later. Their digital intake forms and e-receipts similarly provide a waste-free way to share and store these records, and their shopping bags are made from 100% recycled materials.

Because Eye Care

Good vision is a basic human right. Through LensCrafters work with the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, they play their part in supporting the Foundation’s ambition to eradicate poor vision by 2050.

LensCrafters is proud to offer a growing selection of frames containing bio-based or recycled materials. The aim is for all new EssilorLuxottica products to be embedded with eco-design by the year 2025. Eco-design includes using bio-based materials. These include bio-based acetate — made using cotton, wood pulp, beetroot, sugarcane, and grains — and bio-based nylon, made using castor beans. This, plus a focus on recycling secondary raw materials from plastic waste to make new frames, means that our product assortment can continue to support a circular economy.

Because Inclusion

LensCrafters strength lies in their people. With that in mind, they promote local and global initiatives that celebrate individuality and difference.
