About Kering
We're a global, family-led luxury group home to people whose passion and expertise nurture creative Houses across ready-to-wear, couture, leather goods, jewelry, eyewear and beauty. Our portfolio includes iconic names like Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, DoDo, Qeelin, Ginori 1735, as well as Kering Eyewear and Kering Beauté. In 2025, we employed 44,000 people and generated €14.7 billion in revenue.
Our name comes from the Breton word 'ker,' meaning home or hearth, reflecting our attachment to family roots and the care we devote to our teams, customers, partners and products. We believe the way we do things is just as important as what we do. That's why our culture is built on three values: 'We care' about our brands, teams and the environment; 'We dare' to take risks and innovate; and 'We build' sustainable, long-lasting growth. The Kering Foundation, established in 2008, combats gender-based violence worldwide.
