In other words, by acting for the well-being of all, we grow and become better human beings.
The Foundation supports its beneficiaries as they contribute to building tomorrow's world.
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.
In 2016, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès launched Manufacto, the Skills Factory, an innovative programme designed to introduce schoolchildren to craft professions. Over the course of the school year, pupils discover gestures, techniques and tools as they create a contemporary, everyday object, discovering the skills of craft and the pleasures of making.
