Corporate
Richemont was formed in 1988, when the Rembrandt Group spun off its non-South African operations into the new entity. Those interests were principally a 30 per cent interest in Rothmans International and a minority interest in Cartier, Piaget and Baume & Mercier.
Although Richemont is still a relatively 'young' business, its underlying businesses have a long and distinguished history. Cartier was founded by Louis Cartier in 1847 and many of the Group's watch brands were established in Switzerland during the 19th century. Vacheron Constantin, the world's oldest watchmaker in continuous production, was established in 1755.
Any individual who suspects, observes or hears about misconduct or wrongdoing within the Group and/or its Maisons is encouraged to raise their concern in confidence through the Richemont Speak Up Platform, our whistleblowing and grievance reporting channel. The service is available in 14 languages and provides the option to report individual concerns online or via a local telephone number.

You will receive acknowledgement of receipt of your report within seven days and feedback will be provided within three months.
