Essilor has created a new prestigious and highly selective program - Essilor Base-of-Pyramid Fellowship (EBoP) to give talented young people the opportunity to collaborate with Essilor in developing projects that have a social impact in underprivileged communities.
This award comes as recognition of the foundation’s role as a leader and ambassador in corporate giving, employee volunteering and advocacy work as well as for encouraging other like-minded organisations to do their part to build and sustain a compassionate and collaborative society.
