Corporate Governance

General principles

Richemont is committed to maintaining a high standard of corporate governance. It subscribes to the principles laid down in the Swiss Code of Best Practice for Corporate Governance published by ‘economiesuisse’, the Swiss Business Federation.

The Group’s principles of corporate governance are embodied in the statutes of both Compagnie Financière Richemont SA and Richemont SA, Luxembourg, in the Corporate Governance Regulations and in the terms of reference of the Audit, Compensation and Nomination Committees of the Compagnie Financière Richemont SA Board. The Corporate Governance Regulations are available on the Group’s website: www.richemont.com.

This section of the annual report follows the recommendations of the SWX Swiss Exchange’s ‘Directive on Information Relating to Corporate Governance’ (‘DCG’). Headings follow the format of the DCG. In certain instances, where the issues contained in the directive do not apply to Richemont or where the amounts involved are not material, no disclosure may be given.
