Since 2008, the actions of the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès have been guided by a single, unifying conviction: “Our gestures define us and show who we are”.
The Foundation’s four core missions enact its commitment to targeted philanthropy and support through in-house programmes designed to transmit skills and expertise, create new works of art, protect the environment and encourage gestures of solidarity.
Founded in 2014, the Skills Academy brings together the transmission of knowledge with interdisciplinary practice and prospective research. At each edition of the Academy, craftspeople, designers and engineers undertake a collective exploration of a universal material, innovating at the same time as they share their skills with one another. Though the Academy is reserved for professionals, it is also extends its reach through a programme of talks open to the public.
