Today at the PalaLuxottica in Agordo and connected from all over the world, the entire community of EssilorLuxottica stood by its beloved Chairman, Leonardo Del Vecchio, and his family. A final farewell to an incredible man, who will forever be remembered for his values, robust leadership, passion, exceptional character, and dedication toward the Company and its employees.

It is with a heavy heart that EssilorLuxottica announce the passing of its Chairman, Leonardo del Vecchio. Today, the world has lost a visionary: an entrepreneurial genius, a good friend to many, and an all-round incredible man.

In the Group’s quest to offer high-quality products while raising awareness about the circular economy in support of the planet, EssilorLuxottica is moving its fossil-based nylon to renewable and recycled ones as a sustainable solution.

Strongly intertwined with EssilorLuxottica's business strategy, #EyesOnThePlanet represents both an opportunity and a social responsibility for the Group. ​ Learn more about the Group's commitments:
