Richemont

CONTEXT

Our approach to sustainability is inspired by our history and purpose: ‘We Craft the Future’. In FY25, we continued building on our responsible business values and heritage.

This past year, we undertook a systematic reshaping of Richemont’s environmental data reporting framework. We have also reinforced the foundations of our ESG framework with priorities drawn from our FY25 double materiality assessment and laid down the foundations of our ESG Impact, Risk & Opportunity Assessment.
