Kering donates $1m to healthcare in the Americas
Luxury group Kering has donated $1 million to the CDC Foundation to provide personal protective equipment to healthcare providers in the Americas.
The French group, which owns brands including Gucci and Bottega Veneta, will “support the valiant efforts of frontline healthcare workers” in the US and in Latin America.
Kering is also donating to A Common Thread, a CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund initiative.
These contributions follow those already made by Kering in France, Italy and China in recent weeks and the production of more than 1 million surgical masks and gowns for healthcare personnel.
