Bausch + Lomb Corp. has released its 2025 sustainability impact report, outlining progress against its environmental, social and governance priorities and introducing The Broader Perspective, the company's sustainability framework designed to guide future action and accountability.

Anchored in the belief that seeing the full picture leads to smarter decisions and greater impact, the new framework highlights how Bausch + Lomb is working across its global operations and value chain to reduce emissions, prevent waste from the start, and build sustainable foundations grounded in integrity, safety and respect.

"Sustainability at Bausch + Lomb is about taking a broader perspective, thinking beyond individual roles and working collectively to deliver meaningful impact," said Al Waterhouse, executive vice-president, supply chain and operations, Bausch + Lomb. "Our 2025 sustainability impact report reflects the progress we're making today while clearly defining the long-term goals and systems we're putting in place to support a more sustainable future for our business, our customers and our communities."

Advancing toward net zero by 2050

The report reaffirms Bausch + Lomb's global commitment to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050 and outlines actions taken in 2025 to strengthen its decarbonization foundation, including:
