A CONTROLLED IMPACT ON THE PLANET
At IZIPIZI, we’re committed to offering products that are accessible and built to last, while acting responsibly toward the environment, society, and the people who make our company what it is.
B Corp certified since 2023, our commitment is recognized through this rigorous certification, which drives us to continuously raise the bar.
In this spirit, 2024 marked a major milestone: we reduced our emissions per pair of glasses by half. And since 2025, all of our production has been made using bio-based materials. Each year, we support nonprofit organizations dedicated to protecting families through financial contributions and product donations. We’re also committed to making IZIPIZI an inclusive and respectful place to work. Our daily dedication to our teams is reflected in our Great Place To Work certification, earned for the fifth consecutive year.
Convinced that it is possible to combine economic performance, controlled environmental impact and social progress, we continue on this path with high standards and humility.

REDUCING OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT
Between 2019 and 2023, we reduced our carbon footprint per pair of glasses by 50%.
The carbon footprint of a pair of IZIPIZI glasses is 2.10 kg CO2e, which is less than the average emissions of a meal!
2024 CARBON FOOTPRINT
Each year, we analyze our emissions across the three scopes defined by ADEME.
This comprehensive understanding of our impact by business area allows us to define concrete action plans to minimize our carbon footprint as much as possible. Since 2019, transportation and production have been our major sources of emissions, although they have been significantly reduced.
In a context of growth we are continuing our efforts to keep it as low as possible.
MAKING OUR MATERIALS MORE SUSTAINABLE
Today, we are proud to produce 100% of our permanent frames using bio-based materials.
Since 2018, we have been exploring more sustainable alternatives to polycarbonate, the material historically used to manufacture our frames. This approach involves addressing both technical and economic challenges : preserving the performance of our products while ensuring they remain accessible.
Since 2022, all of our Adult frames have been made using a bio-based material composed of 45% castor oil. At the same time, we’ve evolved the material used for our Kids models - which meet different standards - incorporating bio-based materials made of more than 90% renewable content.
Every day, progress is made on materials, so we continue to explore alternative options.
ENGAGING WITH OUR EMPLOYEES
We firmly believe that our employees are our greatest asset, and that the quality and strength of our collective drive our success. This is why we have always placed our human project at the heart of our business strategy.
For more than 15 years, we’ve chosen to make IZIPIZI a collective entrepreneurial adventure.
Every contribution matters, and we believe our success comes from our ability to work and grow together.
Supporting the development of our teams is at the heart of our People Project. We focus on helping our teams grow, by encouraging internal mobility.
With the goal of continuous improvement and ensuring the relevance of our actions, our employees are consulted each year to share their experience, evaluate the performance of our HR initiatives, express their trust in our management, and assess the quality of life at work.
Once again this year, IZIPIZI is certified as a Great Place to Work. This distinction highlights our ambition to cultivate a work environment where well-being, quality relationships, and professional growth are priorities.
Strong values
We are united and committed around our values.
We cultivate optimism and open-mindedness to unleash energy, promote well-being, and stimulate creativity.
We know that together, we can go further. Sharing and fun are our secret to our success to stay united and supportive.
We see every challenge as an opportunity to grow, push our limits, and be proud of the progress we've made.
SUPPORTING CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS
True to our mission of protecting families, we are committed to supporting nonprofit organizations that share our values of solidarity, responsibility, and care for the most vulnerable. Through these partnerships, we aim to take concrete and lasting action at our own scale.
The organization
L'Union pour l'Enfance has been behind many advancements in child protection.
Its vision: to provide a family-like, safe, and loving environment for children and parents in difficulty, and to offer the keys for full social integration.
L’Union pour l’enfance
Since 2021, IZIPIZI has been supporting L’Union pour l’enfance, a nonprofit organization recognized as serving the public interest since 1891, committed to supporting families in difficulty and protecting children.
Our partnership is built around four complementary pillars:
Financial support
Regular product donations
Team involvement through concrete actions, such as taking part in a youth employment forum
The creation of a solidarity product
We will continue this partnership with the goal of increasing the organization’s visibility and creating more moments of sharing and joy for the children it supports.
Village des Enfants Extra-Ordinaires
Since 2023, IZIPIZI has been supporting the Village des Enfants Extra-Ordinaires, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the inclusion of children with disabilities. The association develops living and welcoming spaces that foster children’s well-being, independence, and support for families. This support helps fund high-impact social and educational projects aimed at assisting children’s loved ones and raising public awareness about disability and inclusion.
Other organizations
In addition to these long-term partnerships, we also continue to support one-off solidarity initiatives. In particular, we keep donating glasses to organizations that reach out with specific needs, in order to respond in a concrete and relevant way to the situations they face in the field.
In 2024, we created our very first solidarity product in collaboration with the Union for Children, with half of the profits generated being donated to the Union for Children.
We organized a creative workshop bringing together the IZIPIZI teams and the children from the association. This unique moment of sharing and exchange allowed the children to unleash their creativity to design the packaging for this product.
It’s a concrete way for IZIPIZI to highlight the association’s cause and contribute to providing the means to support our shared mission: protecting the family.
We aim to make this solidarity product a recurring initiative, allowing us to actively support our partner association.
