Pandemic Pivot for a Social Good Business

What is happening? Warby Parker in 2020 shuttered its stores while figuring out its next move in the pandemic. Warby Parker’s innate social good met the 2020 social good issues- diversity, equity, and inclusion. How do they combine?

Why is this important? The immediate pivot was to work with our supply chain partners and some of our nonprofit supply chain partners to help source PPE, personal protective equipment, and offer everything from masks and face shields to gloves and hand-washing stations to communities 

How will this be important? The company is posting its diversity numbers online and contributing scholarships for Black Optimistrists
