Annual Impact Reports are how we hold ourselves accountable to making continued progress as an organization toward our social responsibility commitments and celebrate our milestones along the way.
In alignment with our purpose and values, VSP Vision™ is committed to accelerating health equity through programs that increase equitable access to vision care, aid communities affected by disaster, and invest in future optometrists; empowering inclusion within our workplace and in partnership with our network of doctors; and advancing sustainability to reduce our impact on the planet through more sustainable products and operations.
Our purpose to empower human potential through sight serves as our North Star, inspiring us to create meaningful impact in the communities we serve. In 2025, VSP Vision invested $7.3 million in direct and in-kind funding to positively impact communities and increase equitable access to vision care.
VSP Vision empowers our employees to support their communities individually. Whether it's participating in Volunteer and Giving Season campaigns or giving to a cause close to their hearts through donation matches, paid volunteer hours, or earned volunteer rewards, our employees live our corporate value of We Care.
Access to care is the #1 barrier for 1.1 billion people worldwide who live with vision impairment. As the first not-for-profit eye health company, we have a responsibility to help remove that barrier. We’re working to accelerate health equity by building on our history of increasing access to vision care at no cost for those in need and aiding communities affected by disaster.
VSP Vision is helping to advance the next generation of optometrists by offering scholarships and grants, and delivering programs designed to increase diversity in the optometric field and help optometry students and new graduates reach their career goals. To date, VSP has invested $4.3 million in optometric student scholarships, which are awarded to more than 70 students annually.
Our people are our super power—every day they make a difference in our communities and with our stakeholders. We empower them through a broad range of resources, including a four‑month Our Vision Is Better Together inclusion series; See Me For Me employee spotlights to foster empathy and understanding across the organization; and Business Resource Groups that unite around common and different interests, perspectives, and experiences, and play a key role in informing business decisions.
