National Vision Launches its First-Ever Philanthropic Impact Report
August 12 2020 - 8:45AM
National Vision Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: EYE) (“National Vision” or
the “Company”), one of the nation’s largest optical retailers
providing quality, affordable eye care and eyewear, has launched
its first-ever philanthropic impact report, A World Worth Seeing,
which details how the Company – including through the generosity of
its associates and network of doctors – is transforming the lives
of people in the United States and around the world.
“This is our first-ever attempt to codify a comprehensive
overview of National Vision’s philanthropic programs
and impact,” said Reade Fahs, Chief Executive Officer at
National Vision. “We have always thought of ourselves as a fast
growing social business providing low cost healthcare to uninsured
Americans and those living on very tight budgets. And, we’ve
tried to use the success that comes from our mission, along with
our unique skills as optical people, to find ways to bring
eyeglasses to those who couldn’t afford them otherwise in America
and abroad.”
The report focuses on three core areas:
- Helping kids in need in the U.S.:
Providing free vision screenings, eye exams and glasses to kids in
need in the United States through various community activities led
by our America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses teams.
- Global giving: Providing glasses to
those in need around the world via Eyeglass World’s “Made Locally,
Given Globally” program.
- Partnering to make an impact:
Partnering with the optical ecosystem of organizations and
nonprofits to find sustainable solutions to help eradicate the
global vision crisis.
The comprehensive report represents decades of partnership,
commitment and dedication by the Company, its associates and
network of doctors. Although it focuses primarily on the Company’s
impact through 2019, the report also highlights the Company’s
strategic response to COVID-19 and its approach to providing help
during the pandemic.
“The challenges and stresses of the past several months most
certainly reminds us all of what is really important in life and
reinforces that the source of true fulfillment often resides in
helping those less fortunate,” Fahs said. “As a good corporate
citizen, National Vision is committed to making a positive
difference, locally and globally.”
