Kering's Twitter post
“Everyone has the right to feel safe online,” said François-Henri Pinault, CEO of Kering and chairman of the Kering Foundation, in a statement. “We must take a stand against the pervasive abuse that seeks to intimidate and silence female voices.”
The luxury group and beauty manufacturer L’Oreal were also recently among the many brands to have joined a mission to stop gender-based violence and abuse.
Seven CEOs gathered at Balenciaga’s headquarters in Paris this Nov. 9 to sign a commitment charter to bring an end to abuse. The commitment is named One in Three to symbolize the number of women who have been exposed to physical or sexual abuse in their lives, according to Women’s Wear Daily (see story).
