Essilor is synonymous with sustainability

The group has once again been confirmed to be listed on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index World and Europa Indices. Essilor is considered one of the best performing companies in terms of sustainable development, and has been ranked second in the Health Care Equipment and Supplies industry. For the fourteenth year in a row, Essilor has also been included on the FTSE4Good, a global investment index designed to identify companies who, through their governance, social and environmental practices, show a strong commitment within the Corporate Social Responsibility sector. In 2017, the group also received two other accolades for their corporate social responsibility: in July, Essilor won an award for being a sustainable company, given its commitment to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals, and in June the group was given the award for Corporate Social Responsibility at the World Procurement Awards for its supplier sustainability programme.
