As environmental accountability becomes essential across mining and heavy industry, Bollé Safety is proving that sustainability and performance can go hand in hand.
With its Go Green initiative, the company is redesigning every stage of its product development – from materials to packaging – while bringing to market innovations such as SWIFT safety glasses.
Eco-Friendly by design
Launched in 2024, SWIFT is a new range of protective glasses and over-the-glasses (OTG) eyewear crafted specifically for industrial professionals. Made with over 31% recycled polycarbonate and designed to be fully recyclable thanks to a monomaterial, metal-free construction, these glasses deliver safety, comfort, and a lower environmental impact.
But SWIFT goes beyond materials. Its thin, flexible temples are engineered for a secure yet comfortable fit on all face shapes. Whether worn as regular safety glasses or over prescription frames, SWIFT offers full eye protection, reduced pressure points, and an enhanced field of vision through a wrap-around design optimised for day-to-day wear.
Both models feature Bollé Safety’s PLATINUM Lite lens coating. Resistant to scratches and fogging, it ensures long-lasting clarity across demanding environments. Lenses are available in clear or smoke tints, with both offering UV protection and contrast enhancement for indoor or outdoor tasks.
Bollé Safety recently introduced a Copper in/out lens option that enhances contrast and reduces glare – perfect for workers moving between bright outdoor areas and shaded interiors.
The full lens line-up now includes: Clear: maximum light transmission for low-light or precision work; Smoke: filters 99 % of UVA/UVB, reducing eye fatigue in bright conditions; and Copper: improves contrast while cutting glare – ideal for variable light.
With three tints and two frame formats, the SWIFT family is “ready for your next order” – delivering adaptable, rock-solid eye protection for every task.
Engineered to meet the AS/NZS 1337.1 safety standard, SWIFT represents a new benchmark in balancing protective performance with sustainable design. And with its accessible price point, it ensures that greener PPE is no longer out of reach for smaller companies or procurement teams working within strict budgets.
“Through this new SWIFT range, Bollé Safety has boldly chosen to offer products with a strong contemporary aesthetic to appeal to today’s and tomorrow’s professionals,” the company’s vice president product and compliance Vincent Azibert said.
Safety meets style
SWIFT isn’t just about functionality, it reflects the new visual identity of Bollé Safety. With a bold, minimalistic look and the brand’s crown symbol embedded at the centre of the frame design, SWIFT speaks to a generation that expects style, comfort, and ethics from their workplace gear.
Every detail of SWIFT was developed with the wearer in mind. From wrapround shape that provides wide field of vision to a universal fit that accommodates all facial morphologies, it’s designed for professionals who want more than basic compliance – they want PPE that supports productivity, focus and well-being on the job.
Its ergonomic design also makes it well-suited to diverse working environments, including mining and clean energy projects, but also warehouses, light manufacturing and technical trades – expanding its use beyond traditional heavy industry.
Certified for a sustainable future
In 2024, Bollé Safety achieved B Corp Certification, a globally respected benchmark of social and environmental performance. This certification reinforces over two decades of sustainability leadership, from introducing eco-packaging in 2000 to launching a comprehensive ESG strategy in 2021.
Today, the brand is actively working towards 35% CO₂ reduction per product by 2027 (vs. 2021 levels), 70% of new products to be eco-designed post-2025, 95% eco-friendly packaging across the range post-2025, 5% biodiversity impact reduction by 2027, tracked using the Global Biodiversity Score (GBS).
But ESG at Bollé Safety is more than numbers. It includes internal initiatives such as employee-led volunteering, climate awareness programs, and transparent supplier audits, with over 80% of key suppliers having completed SMETA ethical audits in the last two years.
These actions reinforce Bollé Safety’s reputation not only as a product innovator, but as a trusted sustainability partner in procurement decisions.
Bollé Safety’s commitment to sustainability touches every part of the value chain, from R&D to packaging, distribution, and brand storytelling. SWIFT range reflects a unified mission: to offer high-performance, high-comfort, and low-impact protective eyewear – globally and regionally.
