Every year during March, B Lab, Sistema B (the non-profit network that certifies companies as B Corps), and the global community of over 8,000 B Corps come together to celebrate everything it means to be a B Corp. In 2025, the theme is Includability – The Home of Inclusive Businesses. As part of this celebration, we are proud to announce that HumanWare has officially achieved B Corporation™ (B Corp) certification. This milestone is a natural progression in our ongoing commitment to making a positive difference for students, professionals, and seniors with visual impairments.
Since 1988, HumanWare has developed over 50 innovative, intuitive solutions that transform the lives of individuals with visual impairments. Our technology, used in homes, classrooms, and workplaces, has empowered over 1 million people worldwide to live more independently.
Celebrating includability: HumanWare’s B Corp certification announcement
“We are thrilled to join a community of businesses committed to higher standards,” says Bruce Miles, Essilor Luxottica’s general manager of Professional Solutions for the Canadian market and head of HumanWare. “This B Corp certification is a testament to our team’s passion and dedication. While it marks an important achievement, we know that this is just the beginning. We will continue to innovate and expand our positive impact on the global blind and low-vision community.”
Our commitment to contributing to social and environmental well-being:

A global reach with a human touch
HumanWare is recognized as an industry leader, and our mission is clear: to develop solutions that help people with visual impairments and vision loss unlock their potential and preserve their autonomy. Thanks to the dedication of our team and partners across North America, the United Kingdom, Australia, and our worldwide distribution network, we are proud to improve the quality of life for our customers while fostering literacy, inclusion, and accessibility.
