walks of life who have overcome obstacles to follow their passions. Among them: Laetitia Guarino (a former Miss Switzerland who is now a medical doctor), American ballet dancer Precious Adams (who champions diversity and inclusiveness) and Amandine Chaignot (a famous French chef). Cartier established the Cartier Women’s Initiative in 2006 with the goal of “driving change by empowering impact-driven women entrepreneurs.” The Initiative is an international program designed to help women-run and women-owned businesses that have a strong sustainability or environmental impact. Every year, the program selects 24 fellows and provides them with financial, social and other support to develop their business and leadership potential. There are several different types of awards, including Regional Awards. The theme for 2021 was

focused on scientific and technological innovation. Bulgari has long supported women’s rights, artistic programs for children and a host of cultural efforts. Recently, the brand worked to create the Bulgari Women & Science Fund to Accelerate Covid-19 Research at Rockefeller University. The fund will help subsidize the university’s research initiatives over the coming three years as they pertain to the virus. Part of the initiative also establishes Bulgari Women & Science Fellowships for women graduate students. These are just a handful of brands that support these efforts. While there are more, they are few and far between. As others step up to the plate and make a concerted effort on this front, the hope is that the number will increase tenfold over the coming decade.
