Until 27 November, all MIDO exhibitors can apply to take part in the 2024 Certified Sustainable Eyewear (CSE) Awards, launched by MIDO in collaboration with ANFAO and Certottica, which assess sustainability in the eyewear industry on an international level. But the fair in Milan has even more prizes to award.
