Ambition & values

As a family-spirited Group, our mission is to craft the future by nurturing the distinctive craftsmanship, innovative spirit and creative inspiration of our people. In this way, we aim to create long term value for all our stakeholders: customers, colleagues, investors, partners and wider society.

What makes Richemont different?

At Richemont, our true power does not lie in our similarities but in the rich diversity of our arts, cultures, and human skills, as well as our specific ability to foster untapped potential.

Our Group has built an array of competences to nurture all of its unique and diverse Maisons and businesses, allied with a strong set of values: flair for finding hidden gems, the respect to learn from their founding families, the courage to develop them, and the patience that allows them to meet their full potential over the long term.

We believe in creating goodwill, rather than buying goodwill. Over the years, hidden treasures such as Van Cleef & Arpels and Panerai have experienced exceptional growth. We will take the time to nurture the latest additions to the Richemont family with the same care and dedication.

Our values

Collegiality

We value people who believe that excellence is a collective achievement, who share knowledge generously, respect diverse expertise and ideas, and work together to consistently uphold the highest standards of service.

Courage

We value people who take responsibility and accountability for their actions, dare to express opinions and feedback, make thoughtful decisions, and challenge the status quo when it serves the craft, the client, and the long-term excellence of the Group and its Maisons.

Curiosity

We value people who seek to deeply understand our craft, our clients, and our world, driven by a continuous desire to learn, refine, innovate, and improve what we do.

Empathy

We value people who approach others with genuine care, making the effort to understand others’ point of view and the impact of their actions on others.

Humility

We value people who respect heritage, nurture craftsmanship and long-term relationships, and who serve the Maisons and the Group by placing the excellence of the craft and the client experience above personal recognition and self-interests.

Integrity

We value people who demonstrate respect in every action, towards regulations, our business code of conduct and each individual, and who lead by example to build trust and safeguard the reputation of our Group and its Maisons.
