Van Cleef & Arpels, renowned as a high jewellery maison, has undertaken a pivotal role as the principal patron of The Prince’s Foundation Gardens and Estates, a significant step toward the preservation of natural heritage in the United Kingdom. In the words of Nicolas Bos, President and CEO of Van Cleef & Arpels, "The maison will be instrumental in perpetuating the meticulous care and accessibility of these expansive estates, encompassing not only formal gardens but also extensive woodlands and hedgerows." This comprehensive collaboration stands as a testament to the Maison's unwavering commitment to sustainability and the environment.
This collaborative effort goes beyond mere symbolism, extending to practical sustainability initiatives. Bos highlights, "Van Cleef & Arpels will be supporting the installation of electric charging points and the gradual transition to electric-powered tools used on the Dumfries House estate." This approach is firmly rooted in eco-consciousness, harmonizing seamlessly with the Maison's values of environmental stewardship.
A pivotal focus within this partnership is the iconic Rose Garden situated within Dumfries House. In a significant acknowledgement of Van Cleef & Arpels' generous support, the garden will be officially rebranded as 'The Van Cleef & Arpels Rose Garden.' This visionary initiative not only promises to elevate the visitor experience but also reinforces the commitment to sustainability and environmental preservation.
Gordon Neil, the Executive Director of The Prince’s Foundation, extends a warm welcome to this partnership, foreseeing innovative developments and the implementation of sustainable practices. At the heart of this initiative is Van Cleef & Arpels' enduring passion for the beauty of nature and its remarkable craftsmanship.
This partnership serves as a resounding declaration of shared values, emphasizing sustainability and the protection of the natural world.
