Polimoda Rendez-Vous with Marie-Claire Daveu, Chief sustainability officer at Kering

At 11 am on March 9th, Marie-Claire Daveu, Chief Sustainability Officer and Head of International Institutional Affairs at Kering, engaged in a Q&A session with Polimoda lecturer Francesco Brunacci to tackle the hot topic of sustainability in fashion and how the company plans on crafting tomorrow’s luxury. Specialized in ethical agronomy and public administration, Daveu is responsible for the continued development of Kering’s environmental and social policies and the direction of the group’s institutional affairs. “Everything starts with the fact that François Pinault, our chairman and CEO, put sustainability, or consciousness, really at the heart of our strategy… When you are in luxury, you have a very specific responsibility because it sets the trends, and if we want to continue to develop the company, if we want to continue to develop our brand, [sustainability] is not an option but a necessity.” http://www.polimoda.com/rendez-vous-marie-claire-daveu/
