The 2021 report aligns with the company's "SEE+G" framework to focus activities and reporting within four key pillars - Social, Employees, Environment and Governance.
Highlights from the 2021 Sustainability Report include progress in each pillar:
Social: Impacted more than five times the number of lives through philanthropic activities, compared to 2020
Employees: Recognized by Forbes® Magazine as one of America's Best Employers for Diversity, Women and Veterans
Environment: Conducted second GHG emissions inventory
Governance: Began phase-out of classified Board structure
"As an affordable healthcare provider, National Vision provides an inherent social good," said Reade Fahs, Chief Executive Officer.
"In turn, our business serves as a flywheel for philanthropic efforts that improve the sight, and thus lives, of millions of people around the world. Corporate responsibility is central to our ability to activate our mission, and we are proud to share details of our progress in this report."
To address areas of most relevance for its investors and stakeholders, the report is aligned with recognized guidelines including the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB), the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.
