Richemont is also one of the Founding Patrons of The Laureus Sport For Good Foundation which it is proud to support to this day as indeed both our organisations share the same belief that empowerment is the key to the progress of humanity – whether it is achieved through the continuous process of reinvention and innovation demonstrated by our designers and craftsmen or the dedication and passion of the sportsmen and sportswomen of this world.
