CSR PRIZE

Skans
The award-winning company was chosen for its minimalist approach aimed at slowing down eyewear consumption: Timeless frames with introduction only when new to reduce the need for renewal, timeless packaging (often without print) to limit the need for redesigns, provision of identical spare parts for all models or production on demand to avoid overstocking... The company also reported an approach that takes into account the entire life cycle of the frames, which for example are made from a single material (100 % stainless steel including the nose pads) to maximize recycling.

Vanni
As the first Italian company in the eyewear industry to become a "Societa Benefit" (Benefit Society) by 2021, Vanni has demonstrated that it quantifies the social, environmental and societal aspects of corporate social responsibility and applies very good practices. The company even goes so far as to have its employees evaluate its performance in various areas (through a survey). 100% of VANNI's workforce has participated in training modules on sustainable development (between 5 and 22 hours of training per employee) In 2023/2024, the company carried out an internal reorganization led by an organizational psychologist to more clearly define the roles and responsibilities of each individual and meet the needs of employees. Vanni is particularly rooted in its region and supports numerous local organizations in Turin and Piedmont. The implementation of a "cradle to gate" LCA also enabled the company to make several adjustments to limit the environmental impact of its products.
