Silhouette Group

At the Silhouette Group we believe that our planet needs support every day, not just on World Environment Day. Operating sustainably and responsibly since the company’s founding in 1964, we now involve especially the younger generation to help further reduce our carbon footprint. In cooperation with the Austrian Climate Alliance, we train apprentices to become climate checkers. This involves young people sharing ideas with older generations, acquiring knowledge, gaining fresh perspectives, and enhancing their awareness of responsible behavior.

Our planet’s biodiversity is under threat worldwide. At the Silhouette Group we do everything we can to preserve it. Over the years our extensive landscaping at our company headquarters in Linz have turned into a green oasis. The lawns provide a vibrant sanctuary for insects, beetles, small mammals and birds. Since last year, 200,000 honeybees have been collecting pollen on our company premises, making a decisive contribution to strengthening biodiversity.

Sunlight brings the world around us to life - and it is essential for our well-being. We believe you should be able to fully enjoy the sunshine, especially when you’re wearing sunglasses. That’s why we developed Silhouette Light Management®. This innovative patented technology allows you to see more yellow light, so the world around you appears brighter, with sharper contrasts and more vivid colors. All while offering total UV-protection. What else could you ask for?

We can’t manage without a clean environment, but we can manage without business trips. That’s why the Silhouette Group has a policy that, if possible, employees should sit in front of their PC for a video conference, rather than flying out for a meeting. This is how we can reduce our CO2 emissions and protect the environment too.

Our eyewear designs are truly outstanding. And we’re not the only ones to think that; it’s also the opinion of design experts on numerous high-profile award panels. We’ve already won 130 international design awards, inspiring us to continue to do our very best to create the world’s finest eyewear.
