26th March 2026– HOYA Vision Care today announced an update on its One Vision program through its new “Sustainability in Action” report, outlining the company’s accelerated commitments and progress toward building a more sustainable future while addressing critical gaps in global vision care. Contained in the report is a pledge to achieve 100% renewable electricity usage across all operations by 2030, in line with the Climate Group RE100 global initiative – an acceleration from the company’s previous target of 2040.
Launched in 2023, One Vision is HOYA Vision Care’s long-term roadmap designed to strengthen the company’s ambition to become a more connected, conscious, and impactful organization. One Vision is based on three key pillars: reducing environmental impact, supporting communities, and fostering a positive workplace.
The new report details significant progress made by HOYA Vision Care across each of the three One Vision pillars, including:
- 25% reduction in global carbon emissions compared to FY21
- 36% reduction in CO2 emissions across the supply chain since FY22
- 11% less energy used to produce each lens since FY21
- 11.5% less water used since FY21 and 15% of water recycled
- 30% of total energy sourced from renewable electricity in FY24
Through its partnership with the REACH Project in India, HOYA Vision Care has delivered essential eye care services to more than 85,000 households, representing meaningful progress towards its goal to reach one million children’s eye screenings. The company also actively supports the World Health Organization's SPECS 2030 initiative, which focuses on expanding sustainable eye care services globally, and plays a key role in World Sight Day activities through its long-standing partnership with the International Agency for the Prevention of Blindness (IAPB). Together with the IAPB and other partners, HOYA Vision Care has helped secure nearly two million pledges to prioritize children’s eyesight worldwide.
The report also outlines accelerated commitments towards delivering sustainable, high-quality vision solutions that improve patients’ lives, including:
- Expanding community impact through improved vision care and screening for children, in partnership with global organizations and local Eye Care Professionals, to help address myopia – a condition which may affect half of the world’s population by 2050.1
- Achieving 100% renewable electricity usage across all operations by 2030, accelerating the previous 2040 target and aligning with the Climate Group RE100 initiative.
- Further reducing carbon emissions across the supply chain by 2030 through sustainable packaging, recycled materials, and minimizing single-use plastics.
- Reducing water consumption by more than 25% for each lens and introducing new recycling initiatives to reduce production waste and landfill impact.
“One Vision embodies our commitment to delivering on our purpose to Improve Life Through Vision. We are focused on closing the addressable vision care gap through early intervention and dedicated care, while continuously reducing our environmental footprint,” said Marius de Beer, Chief Sustainability Officer at HOYA Vision Care. “This includes accelerating our target to achieve 100% renewable electricity usage across our operations by 2030 – ten years earlier than originally proposed – driven by our global investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy initiatives.”
Through One Vision and its accelerated 2030 commitments, HOYA Vision Care continues to translate its mission to Improve Life Through Vision into measurable, long-term impact.
