4th Annual Conference | Humanism 5.0: From Disposable Culture to Longevity Engineering

The convergence of sustainability and longevity represents one of the greatest challenges and opportunities of the coming decade. In a society where people live longer and demand a higher quality of life, it is essential to rethink business models and corporate responsibility, driven by ongoing digital transformations. The eye care sector will also be called upon to respond, requiring leaders with the vision and commitment to bridge human values with business solutions.


The Association for the Support of Optical Sustainability (AASO) and AESE Business School have partnered to better understand the impact of sustainability and longevity within the vital Eye Care sector.


Take part in generating this survey (voluntary, anonymous, and confidential) by November 10th. It will gather industry-wide knowledge from the Eye Care sector, and the results will be presented on November 17th at the Conference: “Humanism 5.0: From Disposable Culture to Longevity Engineering”.
