We are pleased to announce EssilorLuxottica as the new Principal Partner of One Ocean Foundation. United by a shared commitment to protecting marine ecosystems this partnership marks the beginning of a joint journey toward building a bluer future.
As part of the collaboration, EssilorLuxottica will support Blue Forest, One Ocean Foundation's marine reforestation project, contributing to the restoration of Posidonia oceanicaseagrass meadows in the Mediterranean Sea. These valuable underwater ecosystems play a vital role in absorbing carbon dioxide, protecting coastlines from erosion, and preserving biodiversity by providing essential habitats for a wide range of marine species.
In this context, the partnership aligns with the United Nations’ “30x30” goal, which aims to protect at least 30% of the planet’s land and marine areas and restore degraded ecosystems by 2030, underscoring the importance of focusing on nature-based solutions that strengthen the resilience of the oceans.
For EssilorLuxottica, the partnership is part of its broader ‘Eyes on the Planet’ sustainability program. As a global leader in vision care, eyewear and medical technologies, with more than 210,000 employees across150 countries, the company is reinforcing its environmental commitment by supporting One Ocean Foundation’s initiatives.
By combining scientific research, innovation, and private-sector engagement, One Ocean Foundation and EssilorLuxottica are joining forces to deliver a tangible and lasting positive impact on the Mediterranean Sea, helping preserve its ecological value for present and future generations.
