Viewpoint: Reducing our planet impact

Reducing and avoiding carbon emissions and minimising Specsavers’ environmental impact requires us to reshape and rethink everything we do, from how we power our stores and support offices, to how we design, manufacture and deliver our products and services to our customers and patients.

We know this is not going to be a straightforward journey and we know that we cannot achieve this alone. With this in mind, we focused the development of our sustainability strategy on having clarity in our purpose and creating a strategy that delivers action across our key environmental impact areas.

In early 2024, we officially received validation of our science-based targets with the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), joining companies worldwide in following the science to reduce carbon.
