Sustainability, collaboration and creativity are fundamental pillars of Kering's vision for the future of luxury. Through its various academic contributions, the Group aims to offer comprehensive training that provides students with the tools to place sustainability at the center of an organization's strategy.
Kering and the London College of Fashion have introduced a dynamic three-year programme. Focused on sustainable governance, it equips budding fashion leaders with interdisciplinary expertise and a focus on the “3Is” of sustainability. Marie-Claire Daveu emphasizes the transformative power of education in shaping a sustainable future for the fashion industry.
To achieve long-term sustainability goals across industries, the new Kering x CSF program will shape future board members to embody Rockstrom et al.'s interspecies, intergenerational, and intragenerational justice, also known as the “3Is “, to the governance teams. They will be able to conduct research through an interdisciplinary lens, exchange knowledge with researchers by joining a youth board, and develop industry-specific skills.
“The only way to truly and effectively empower people is to work closely with schools and universities to build a comprehensive approach to sustainability issues. Indeed, the long-standing collaboration between Kering and LCF is focused on harnessing the power of education and creativity in support of our planet. “We share the same vision of empowering young talent and encouraging the next generation of fashion professionals to place sustainability at the center of their future careers,” he says. Marie-Claire Daveu, director of sustainability and institutional affairs at Kering.
