Strongly committed to CSR, Luxottica, the world leader in luxury spectacle trade, is breaking new barriers down in terms of corporate social protection. Indeed, with a new agreement, it extends the ‘Welfare’ scheme set up in 2009 with a program to support youth training, listening and advice services to help employees who suffer, and testing microcredit for workers with financial troubles. Rooted in the country and based on employee participation and union representation, it draws from a “quality culture,” limiting waste and releasing surplus that is reinvested into social protection.

Workers’ wellbeing, the key to success. The agreement signed on May 31 with the local Filctem-CGIL, Femca-Cisl and Uiltec-Uil unions is on the extension of the Welfare scheme which applies to the group’s 8,000 staff. It is the second step for “Welfare Luxottica,” set up after “lengthy discussions” in 2009, in order to identify and meet the “primary needs” of employees and their families. The Joint Governance Committee that manages the scheme was the “biggest novelty” at the time and is already a reference in terms of corporate equality.
