Frame friends of the Earth

Luxottica

At its 12 manufacturing sites around the world, Luxottica, the world’s largest eyewear manufacturer, produces approximately 95m frames every year.

The commitment to protecting the environment comes from the bonds with the communities where it operates, the company says. Its very first factory in Agordo sits within the national park of the Belluno Dolomites and provides the inspiration to make a fundamental contribution to be a more environmentally responsible company.

Luxottica’s approach to green operations is based on the policies of the European Union and the United Nations, with environmental protection an essential element of every part of the process. The remit is vast, with considerations needed in several different businesses and territories. The entire value train of the company’s business has become more sustainable, including water and energy consumption, CO2 emissions, along with the production and subsequent recycling of waste materials.
