The 2021 report highlights Warby Parker's progress and impact as the first public benefit corporation to go public via direct listing, including launching the Warby Parker Impact Foundation, exceeding 10 million pairs of glasses distributed globally through its Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program, expanding its Pupil Project program, and more.
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 2021 Impact Report include:
First Public Benefit Corporation To Go Public Via Direct Listing: On September 29, 2021, Warby Parker became the first public benefit corporation to go public through a direct listing, and the Company hopes to continue to serve as an example to other businesses and entrepreneurs that you can do well while doing good.

Due to the administrative intricacies and cadence of the program, the distribution of glasses should not be correlated against the Company's sales in any fiscal period.
