Turning double materiality into strategic clarity for Warby Parker
The Challenge
As a vertically integrated retailer operating across design, global manufacturing and nationwide stores, Warby Parker faced rising ESG expectations, heightened stakeholder scrutiny and increasingly complex regulatory requirements. They sought to build a robust, future ready foundation for transparency, accountability and long term resilience, while clearly prioritizing key risks and opportunities, strengthening enterprise wide risk oversight and preparing for evolving disclosure standards.
Our Approach
