Takeaways

• Bollé Brands Group has cut its Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 46%, reaching its 2030 climate targets five years early.
• The group is accelerating sustainable product innovation, with recycled materials now central to eyewear and packaging.
• Strong employee and supplier engagement is helping incorporate ESG into everyday business decisions.

Bollé Brands Group, a global leader in performance eyewear and protective equipment, has published its 2025 ESG report, highlighting major progress in reducing emissions, advancing sustainable product design, and strengthening social responsibility across its operations.

The group, home to Bollé, Bollé Safety, SPY+, and Serengeti, said the results reflect a clear strategy to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) priorities into long-term business growth. The update follows the company’s B Corp certification in 2024 and marks another milestone in its sustainability journey.

One of the most notable achievements outlined in the report is a 46% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2022 levels. This means Bollé Brands has already met its 2030 emissions target, five years ahead of schedule. The company said this rapid progress underlines its ambition to lead by example on climate action within the eyewear and protective equipment sector.

Sustainable innovation remains a core focus. All Bollé sunglasses scheduled for summer 2026 will be produced using recycled materials. In addition, 33% of Bollé Safety products sold now include recycled content, while 90% of packaging across the group incorporates recycled materials and/or is made using low-carbon energy. Together, these steps have helped cut CO₂ emissions per product by up to 31%, depending on the category. The group is targeting a 35% reduction by 2027.

The report also highlights efforts to improve responsible sourcing. Around 68% of strategic suppliers have undergone SMETA audits in the past two years, helping ensure ethical labour, health and safety, and environmental standards are maintained across the supply chain.

Internally, employee engagement continues to play a key role. During the year, 95% of employees took part in sustainability initiatives, including climate change training and volunteering programmes. The company has also expanded its ESG-linked bonus scheme to all eligible staff, reinforcing sustainability as a shared responsibility rather than a standalone function.

Commenting on the report, Peter Smith, CEO of Bollé Brands Group, said environmental and social commitments are embedded in how the business operates and grows. He added that the company is focused on transparently understanding its impacts while designing products with the lowest possible environmental footprint.
