| Based in the company home amid an unspoilt natural
setting on the edge of the large Risoud forest, the
Audemars Piguet management decided in 1992 to
create a foundation dedicated to preserving forests
worldwide. It is funded by an earmarked amount
from the proceeds of each watch sold. Over the
years, its fi eld of action has diversifi ed in order to
take on new environmental challenges including
safeguarding biodiversity and the traditional skills
of forest dwellers; and educating children on
environmental protection issues. At the turn of the
century, the Foundation was entrusted, alongside
its primary mission, with supervising the corporate
environmental policy. |
