These Maisons draw their energy from their excep-

tional heritage, innovative mindset and receptive

outlook. The Group supports their development in a

spirit of entrepreneurship, long-term vision and respect

for what makes each of them so powerful and unique.

As ambassadors of an authentic art de vivre, it is our

responsibility to set the right example in every aspect

of our business, from product design to the experience

that customers have throughout their relationships

with the Group’s brands; from investment choices

to social and environmental initiatives. Because

what we do requires a diverse range of talent, we are

committed to training teams that embody excellence.

Because passing on skills is an integral part of our

culture, we want to use that opportunity to promote

social inclusion and employment. Because our crafts

make the most of nature at its purest and most

beautiful, we see preserving the environment as a

strategic imperative.

The values and actions encompassed by our sustainable

development attitude emerge from a tradition that

dates back to the origins of our Maisons and forms an

integral part of our heritage. Our long-term success

depends not only on the Group’s solid business model

and profitable growth strategy, but also on our unwa-

vering commitment to creativity, excellence, and our

environmental impact and corporate citizenship.
