Fondation D'Entreprise Hermès

“Our gestures define us.” A commitment to this unifying statement drives everything we do at the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès. Put another way, individual actions nurture growth and well-being for us all. The Foundation puts in place the necessary conditions for the creation of new work across the arts, the transmission of skills and know-how, the protection of our environment, and the encouragement of social solidarity, through nine programmes designed to accompany its beneficiaries as they build tomorrow’s world. Together, these actions reflect our fundamental aims: to cultivate shared intelligence, harness progress for the greater good, and enshrine humanitarian values at the heart of today’s society. Established in 2008, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès is directed by Annick de Chaunac, and presided by Olivier Fournier.
