“Research and education play a fundamental role in helping change existing practices and models within the luxury sector. As an international luxury Maison, we remain committed to actively support those who are addressing these challenges to inspire the next generation. This means further fostering dialogues between business and education, for a concrete and durable impact.”
A few words from the Co-Scientific Directors Prof. Benjamin Voyer (ESCP)
Prof. Anne Laure Sellier (HEC Paris)
Prof. Anne Laure Sellier (HEC Paris)
“Cartier has a unique culture and heritage that makes it stand out among other craftsmanship-focused Maisons. Having the opportunity to inspire such a distinctive Maison is a privilege. I look forward to fostering creative discussions with Cartier employees around the world, sharing cutting-edge academic research and insights, and bringing a different take on current business and societal issues, from sustainability to circular consumption and from cultural to generational differences.
With its remarkable culture, leadership and resources, Cartier has the best ingredients to continue developing as a magnificent organization in terms of its societal impact, beyond its business activity. My hope is that the Chair will provide yet another lens to Cartier employees, through which to view the social world a little differently, exchange, and generate ideas and solutions to the challenges ahead. ”
