Our Governance
Kering Foundation
Governance is spearheaded by a Board of Directors which meets biannually to review the strategy, approve funding and ensure that the Kering Foundation is properly managed. The Board is supplemented by three committees with distinct skill sets.
Our Board of Directors
Under the chairmanship of François-Henri Pinault, the Kering Foundation Board comprises five directors, with each of them drawing on their vast expertise in business, philanthropy and the arts.
Our Committees
Our three committees include figures who truly represent the Kering Foundation ecosystem: members of the Kering Board of Directors; representatives of the Kering’s Houses; experts in the fields of violence against women and children, entertainment or the media; academics; philanthropists and artists whose experience and skills serve to increase the relevance and scope of the Kering Foundation’s actions.
The Brands Committee
It nurtures ideas and initiatives to support the Kering Foundation’s mission across the Group and Houses, including fostering employee engagement and encouraging collaboration among brands to combat gender-based violence.
The Experts Committee
It contributes to the grantmaking process and evaluation by sharing expertise and networks and building bridges with other funders working in the same field.
The Ambassadors Committee
It creates communication, visibility and fundraising opportunities for the Foundation.
Meet the Kering Foundation Team
Led by the Executive Director, the Kering Foundation team implements the strategy and roadmap defined with governance, with the goal of contributing to ending violence against women and children.
The team proactively pinpoints new partners before assisting them in the design of long-term programs. It meets with grantees on a regular basis to assess and track the progress of programs. The team is also closely involved in working groups and represents the Kering Foundation on various bodies to champion its initiatives and expand its network.
