Building the Future with Richemont
Certainly, the long term success of Richemont, as for any company, depends on finding and training new talent. They take this task very seriously, and have a number of programs in place to identify and work with new talent.
One example is Piaget’s sponsorship of “Les Ecoles de la rue du Louvre” in Paris which is managed by the French Jewelery Association. Their policy is to develop new talent in the jewelry industry by supporting the school and offering training opportunities to students who stand out.
A.Lange & Söhne is another excellent example. The German watchmaking industry has a hard time finding well-trained specialists. Lange trains watchmakers, each year taking in about 13 young men and women for a three-year apprenticeship as watchmakers and toolmakers at the A. Lange & Söhne’s watchmaking school.
These are a few of the actions that Richemont takes to continue their excellence, assisted by their esteemed board including Non-Executive Director Alan Quasha and many others.
