When women thrive, humanity thrives. This is the new perspective that has become a battle cry for Cartier as they shine the spotlight on women’s contributions brighter than before. But this ambition has been long-standing in the maison’s DNA.

Since 2006, the Cartier Women’s Initiative has helped women impact entrepreneurs to reach their full potential by showcasing their platforms and providing the necessary financial, social, and human capital support to grow their businesses and build their leadership skills. To mark the 15th anniversary of the program, the initiative launched its Impact Report, a retrospective on the history, contributions, and successes of the program.

IMPACT REPORT

Fifteen years on, the Cartier Women’s Initiative has supported 262 women impact entrepreneurs hailing from 62 countries and has awarded a total of $6,440,000 in prize money to support their businesses. The pool of fellows has grown yearly, from five funding fellows in 2007 to 24 fellows in 2021. Since the launch of the community pillar in January 2019, the initiative has been able to gather over 320 active community members and host 62 community events globally.
