Feb. 22, 2023 — VSP Vision has released its 2022 Impact Report to measure progress in key initiatives that reflect the organization’s commitment to social responsibility, specifically in the categories of health equity, sustainability, and culture of belonging.
 
 “We recognize that social responsibility is an ongoing journey with no fixed destination,” says VSP Vision president and CEO Michael Guyette. “Our intention with this Impact Report is as much about holding ourselves accountable to making continued progress on that journey as it is about celebrating the positive outcomes our stakeholders have experienced along the way.”
 
The following are some key highlights from this inaugural report:
 

• VSP Vision Eyes of Hope has offered access to free vision care to more than 3.8 million people, donated more than 2.2 million pairs of eyewear, invested $20 million toward aid for communities affected by disasters, and invested $3 million in scholarships and grants that support diversity in the optometry profession.
• One-quarter of Marchon frames are made with sustainable materials like plant-based resin, upcycled plastic, and responsible acetate.
• VSP developed a fully sustainable e-commerce shipping box made from 100% recyclable materials—a 65% reduction in materials that will save 748 mature trees and remove 35,904 pounds of carbon dioxide from the air annually.
• Since launching last year, VSP’s employee giving platform supported more than 440 nonprofit organizations, as VSP employees logged 6,751 volunteer hours and donated $312,661.
• VSP Business Resource Groups hosted more than 40 educational and awareness events in 2022.
