SKANS Receives The SILMO Paris 2024 CSR Award
We are excited to announce that Skans has been awarded the prestigious SILMO Paris 2024 CSR Award.
We are deeply honoured and grateful to receive this recognition, reaffirming our commitment to using eyewear as a tool for spreading awareness about sustainability in the eyewear industry.
The SILMO Paris Jury recognized our efforts with the following motivation:
"The winning company was chosen for its minimalist approach aimed at slowing down the consumption of eyewear: timeless frames that are only introduced when necessary, reducing the need for frequent updates, timeless packaging (often without printing), to limit the need for redesigns, the availability of identical spare parts for all models, or on-demand production to avoid overstocking. The company also demonstrates an approach that takes into account the entire lifecycle of the frames, for example by using frames made entirely from a single material (100% stainless steel, including nose pads), maximizing recyclability."
This recognition validates our approach of creating high-quality, handcrafted eyewear made in Europe that balances style, comfort, and a minimal environmental footprint. Our aim is to slow down consumption with frames that are designed to last.
This award highlights the growing acknowledgment within the optical industry that using business and eyewear to tackle planetary challenges is the way forward. It celebrates the industry’s shift to making sustainability a key priority for shaping a sustainable future.
A deep and heartfelt thank you to everyone who has supported and inspired us along the way; customers, suppliers, colleagues, the Silmo Jury, families and friends for. A Big Thank You from the bottom of our hearts!
Together we are making a meaningful difference, one pair of frames at a time! 💚
