About KERING

KERING is a French listed luxury group on Euronext Paris, focused on the design, development and retail distribution of high-end products in fashion, leather goods, jewelry and eyewear. The group is now a pure luxury player and ranks among the most prominent global names in the sector. Its portfolio includes iconic Houses such as Gucci, Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta, Balenciaga, Alexander McQueen, Brioni, Boucheron, Pomellato, Qeelin, Ginori 1735 and Kering Eyewear. Kering is 42%-owned by Artémis, the holding company controlled by the Pinault family. Kering’s history dates back to 1962. Originally founded under a different corporate identity, the group went through several strategic transformations before adopting the Kering name in 2013. Its most decisive shift came in 2018, when it completed its transition into a pure luxury group after gradually exiting more diversified activities. The name Kering comes from the Breton word "ker", meaning home, hearth or living space, reflecting a brand philosophy rooted in heritage, culture and creativity. Operationally, Kering relies on a portfolio of powerful, distinctive brands driven by strong creative positioning, careful control of brand equity and a highly selective distribution model. Gucci has historically been the group’s largest brand by revenue and global recognition, while Saint Laurent, Bottega Veneta and the other Houses provide diversification and strategic balance. Kering Eyewear is a key growth engine in eyewear, with an expanding presence in both optical and sunglasses segments. The group has a truly global geographic footprint, with significant exposure to Asia-Pacific, Western Europe, North America and Japan. Its distribution mix combines directly operated stores, digital channels and selective wholesale or partnership arrangements depending on the House. This international reach enables Kering to serve a wealthy, mobile customer base seeking exclusivity, innovation and premium brand experiences. Kering is also widely known for its focus on sustainability, material traceability and environmental impact, which have become central themes in the luxury industry. Its strategy is built on brand desirability, operational discipline and long-term value creation. In 2025, Kering generated revenue of €14.675 billion and employed 43,731 people, underlining its substantial scale in the global luxury market.
