How OneSight EssilorLuxottica scaled grant management worldwide with Optimy
OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation
The OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation is a global foundation with one defining ambition: eliminate uncorrected poor vision by 2050. Operating across more than 100 countries, the foundation combines healthcare delivery, local partnerships, and large-scale grant programs to bring eye care to underserved communities worldwide. With over 200 active programs running simultaneously across every region, managing operations consistently while enabling local teams to act on the ground became a critical challenge at scale.
programs: 200+ | reach: 100+ countries
Fragmented processes slowing global impact
Before Optimy, the foundation's operations depended on a patchwork of spreadsheets, email chains, and local workflows — a model that worked at small scale but quickly showed its limits as the foundation grew internationally.
- No global visibility across programs and regions
- Slow, inconsistent approval workflows across regions
- Difficulty consolidating data and impact reporting
- GDPR and compliance risk from decentralized data storage
- Teams spending significant time on administration vs. field delivery
One platform. Global consistency. Local flexibility.
Optimy was implemented as the foundation's single global platform to manage all corporate grant programs and philanthropic initiatives end to end — from submission through approval to impact reporting.
Centralized program intake:
- All grant applications submitted through one portal with configurable workflows for global and regional needs.
- Automated, structured approvals: Configurable approval stages reduce delays and manual follow-ups across every region.
- GDPR-compliant data handling: Sensitive data is stored securely in one system, eliminating legal uncertainty from local files and spreadsheets.
- Real-time dashboards and reporting: All programs tracked with consistent KPIs — exportable on demand, no last-minute consolidation needed.
From operational burden to strategic impact
Since deploying Optimy, the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation has transformed the way it manages its grant portfolio — replacing fragmented manual processes with a single, audit-ready system that scales with the foundation's global ambitions.
