Strategy

Richemont operates in five key areas: jewellery, watches, writing instruments, leather and accessories, and clothing.

The Group is managed with the objective of growing value for shareholders over the long-term, recognising that the most important assets of the Group - its Maisons - have almost all been in existence for over a century.

Each of the Maisons has its own distinct identity that stems from its heritage and culture and it is critical that each Maison has the correct strategies and resources to be able to enhance that identity. The independence of the Maisons within the Group is fundamental to the Group's strategy for future growth.

Management, designers and craftsmen across the Group strive to keep this heritage and the traditional values of its Maisons alive through a continuous process of reinvention and innovation.

Recognising its role as a member of the global community, Richemont strives to act as a responsible corporate citizen.
