Warby Parker Inc. (NYSE: WRBY) (the “Company”), a
direct-to-consumer lifestyle brand focused on vision for all, today
published its 2022 Impact Report. In the spirit of three of its
core values (Do good, Set ambitious goals and measure results, and
Learn. Grow. Repeat), Warby Parker tracks and annually reports its
impact on stakeholders following the Global Reporting Initiative
(GRI) framework. Using these guidelines, Warby Parker is able to
examine where it is as a company today and envision where it wants
to be in the future.
The GRI is one of the most widely recognized sets of global
sustainability reporting guidelines that helps organizations
understand, communicate, and compare their impact on key
sustainability topics. Warby Parker also releases a Sustainability
Accounting Standards Board (SASB) summary and aligns its key areas
of sustainability to the United Nations’ Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) within the Impact Report.

Highlights from the 2022 Impact Report
include:
Distributing 13 Million Pairs of Glasses Globally through Buy
a Pair, Give a Pair program: Warby Parker believes in vision
for all, which is why for every pair of glasses or sunglasses sold,
a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through its Buy
a Pair, Give a Pair program. Since the program began in 2010, the
need for accessible vision care remains high—according to the World
Health Organization, approximately one billion people around the
world need glasses but don’t have access to them.
In 2022, Warby Parker reached more than 13 million pairs of
glasses distributed globally through Buy a Pair, Give a Pair,
meaning 13 million more people now have the glasses they need to
learn, work, and achieve better economic outcomes. Additionally,
for the first time in the history of the program, Warby Parker
expanded efforts to Europe, as the Company partnered with
RestoringVision to distribute 100,000 pairs of glasses to those
impacted by the war in Ukraine.

Launching a First-of-its-kind Partnership with Eastman
Chemical to Recycle 20,000 Pounds of Single-Use Plastic in First
Year: After two years of research and testing, Warby Parker
launched a demo lens recycling program in partnership with Eastman
Chemical in the first quarter of 2022. Through this program,
discarded demo lenses (the clear lenses used to maintain the frame
integrity and shape in transit and for display) from Warby Parker’s
two optical labs are broken down to the molecular level and then
used as feedstock in place of fossil fuels to produce new materials
that are indistinguishable from their counterparts, preserving
natural resources in the process. In 2022 alone, Warby Parker saved
20,000 pounds of single-use plastic from landfill.
Helping More than 50,000 U.S. Schoolchildren See Clearly
through Pupils Project Program: In 2015, Warby Parker created
Pupils Project, a program that works with local organizations and
government agencies to provide free vision screenings, eye exams,
and glasses to schoolchildren. In 2022, Warby Parker expanded this
program to new school districts and cities across California and
Pennsylvania, resumed a small-scale pilot in Boston, and celebrated
reaching 10,000 pairs of glasses distributed in Baltimore,
Maryland. In 2022, Pupils Project distributed more than 50,000
pairs of glasses to students across New York City, Baltimore,
Pennsylvania, California, and Washington, D.C.—the most Warby
Parker has provided through the program in one year to date.
