Since its creation in 2008, the Kering Foundation has supported more than 130 organizations in six countries and helped support more than 1.15 million women.
Projects Designed to Create a Lasting Impact
The initiatives presented in the report reflect a shared commitment: to support projects capable of producing a lasting impact.
Among them, the opening of the Asterya Center—France’s first child support center run by the Im’Pactes organization—marks an important step toward improving care for children in the custody of child welfare services. The Kering Foundation was its first private funder.
Another major advancement is the launch of an international research program with McGill University (Canada) and the Sexual Violence Research Initiative (South Africa) to better understand the links between violence against women and violence against children and to develop evidence-based solutions.
Finally, the report highlights several programs supported by the Foundation, whether they focus on supporting survivors, preventing violence among young people, strengthening organizations, or engaging the private sector.
Taking Collective Action Against Violence
The Kering Foundation’s commitment extends beyond supporting organizations to encompass its entire ecosystem.
Within the Kering Group, the Foundation supports the implementation of the internal policy to combat domestic violence by developing training programs for employees. It also brings together committed companies through initiatives such as OneInThreeWomen in Europe and PARI in Italy.
Because ending violence requires collective action, the Foundation also continues its efforts to raise awareness, fundraise, and share knowledge to encourage new stakeholders to get involved.
