Update about Emma Watson's role, paycheck and involvement in Kering

 


[Version française]










There's been a bit of an update on Emma's involvement with Kering in French media. My English vocabulary is really not good enough for this topic so let me know if something is not quite clear.


Basically, according to financial analysts OFG Recherche, Kering's last annual report shows that Emma only showed up for 2 of the 10 meetings in 2021 and didn't participate to the one annual sustainability committee meeting she's meant to preside over "due to external commitment the committee was informed about beforehand." Emma had an 18% attendance rate when the average was 87% and was paid 26.369€ for that year.

Capital talked to Kering and they said, "Apart from the formal meetings dedicated to the Board of Directors, Emma Watson participated in several internal meetings this year." They also said she exchanged with some members of the Board of Directors several times and intervened during a seminar and "launched an internal project" on the improvement of information of the group's brands to their clients in terms of sustainable development.

Capital also contacted Emma's agent, but they didn't get back to them for now.

I'm guessing she just didn't realise beforehand how boring these things are, it's the first corporate board she's sat on. Though I suspect that 87% number is including management as well who have to show up. 2 out of 10 is still low but I'm guessing the other non-management members didn't show up 87% of the time either.

so like was Emma being irresponsible or?

Thomas said...

Hmm i thought these past years she wasn't playing in a movie because she've been busy with Kering

"so like was Emma being irresponsible or?"

Not particularly. She was appointed as something called an independent director. Essentially the SEC requires corporations to have a certain percentage of the board come from outside the company to balance out the management board members who are all hand-picked by the CEO.
Independent directors don't have any official obligations because they're not really employees. They're normally allowed to participate in small-scale schemes within the company to promote a particular view of how the company should operate but it's voluntary.

The only duty she would have is to vote, which she can do remotely or by proxy.

2/10? that didn't sound as ambitious as the way people described her with her school/college and all that...

didn't she want this position?

Anonymous said...

she really didn't show up for the sustainability meeting? when she is always about echo stuff these days? :( i hate to say it but people who question how committed she really is to these causes are maybe onto something it really looks like its all for PR

Thomas said...

Oh we have a 2nd Thomas XD
sorry that made me laugh

Lucy said...

What was she busy with instead in 2021? she was just on holiday in Spain or Iceland and stuff most of the year? Did she maybe go to cop26 instead or did the reunion take up time? honestly, seems like you would still have time for one meeting that's the whole reason you are at the company surely?

I think she was just bored of this role and I agree she probably didn't realise it would be so tedious but she should just leave the position if she is not interested as it just reflect poorly and gives ammo to haters who will love this kind of story sadly

I just typed your email in then the message and pressed send in my email
Didn't know there were different platforms

Anonymous said...

Well we don't really know the circumstances. It's entirely possible she felt like they weren't taking her seriously (like I said, these independent board member positions aren't management positions, they're just a regulatory requirement).

"I just typed your email in then the message and pressed send in my email

Sorry, I did receive your email and it automatically went in my spam bow so I hadn't seen it. I'd love to help you out but I really have no idea how to contact her or anyone from her team.

Anonymous said...

someone else posted in the other thread but its worth repeating Kering has a terrible reputation its likely Emma thought she would have real influence with these people and be able to make changes but found out quickly she was just there to make them look good by having her name attached and wash away the pesky articles calling out the abuse of workers under Kerings brands. They likely made her feel bad so she started skipping meetings and went to eathshot and cop26 to actual do some work as Kering arent going to do anything

Anonymous said...

Yeah anyone noticed Emma has never brought up Kering since she first got the role?
To me it's a sign the job isn't what she thought it would be and there is something wrong with it so she is just quietly getting it over with and will likely never speak about Kering again once her contract ends next year.

Anonymous said...

If I had the power, I also wouldn't attend these boring meetings.
She is just like my manager, he also doesn't show up in meeting.
Jokes apart, these things are extremely fucking boring, also in most of these position holders doesn't bother to show up at all, if you been in any meetings with them you know it. In my company they didn't even care to attend a zoom meeting.

Anonymous said...

Isn't it reported that she attended several internal meetings and worked on sustainability project? She did what she could, she's not management after all. I just wonder if she regrets joining the Kering board, which expires next year anyway and she can quit

Thomas said...

Oh sorry but I have to share this gif of Emma because she is soooo cuuuute on it

Anonymous said...

I tend to agree with the idea Emma hoped she would have a bigger say or more important role but really the board just want her name as it helped them out at the time and really they don't care about sustainability all that much so Emma grew frustrated and barely showed up after the first year

you guys i like Emma too but sometimes she is going to not do great things and media will talk about it (like hanging out with brandon green) and its not a conspiracy to hate her its just news getting reported. Emma is not going to be an amazing person 100% of the time and remember none of us know the real Emma and only see what she wants us to in her interviews its very carefully created image

Is anyone really surprised though? she didn't do group promo with the other women for her last film and took off on vacation halfway through filming. Emma isn't really known for her work ethic. If I only attended two meetings out of ten and didn't show up for the big one that I was supposed to chair, I'd be fired. Especially considering she has been on so many vacations since the first time countries opened their borders during the pandemic. She obviously has the time to do what she signed up to do. I hope she donates her pay to a cause. That could be someone's salary and she obviously isn't taking it seriously.

Anonymous said...

I think she clearly only had a symbolic role at this company and there was never a 'real job' why she would even want 26 grand when she is a millionaire? makes no sense lol

I think it was just a good way to get some brand items sent to her for free and kering got to have her name around them to make them look good thats what happened

Anonymous said...

Some people just love to complain and can't stop criticizing her on her birthday? She doesn't owe a salary to someone who really needs the job, nor does she need to donate her salary lol, why do you always think she owes anyone? Kering chose her for image and PR obviously, you're just disappointed why Kering didn't fire her xd

Maybe Emma stops doing things worthy of criticism she will not be critcised? xd

People need to stop expecting celebs to live up to the fake PR image its all just a game they play to get good roles and to be well-liked by public embrace the reality of this and you will stop being disappointed and just enjoy Emma pics and videos like the rest of us who don't care about her activism and stuff like that she does we understand its just a game

First of all stop putting people on a pedestal and second of all leave her alone. Nobody cares neither Emma nor Kering.

Also her friends are so useless, they don't even share her pics on her birthday XD.

The fact is you see a couple of days or even just evenings per year in picture. Maybe 30 days/ evenings per year. The year has 365 days and evenings, sometimes 366.

I suggested she donate the money she made to a cause because at least she would do some good with a job she obviously doesn't care about. Yeah, Kering definitely hired her for her image, as she's only hired for her image for most jobs, but she's not doing anything for them, is she? If you think an employee who has 18% attendance rate should keep their job just because it's their birthday and because you think you know them even though you only know their public persona, then that is a little concerning. A normal person with an 18% attendance rate wouldn't last long at their job. I think Emma should find a job she's actually interested in. At least she stopped pretending to enjoy acting. I think that's great for her.

Anonymous said...

" If you think an employee who has 18% attendance rate "

She's not an employee. They're called Independent Directors for a reason. The role is a requirement by the SEC and stock exchanges and carries no company duties beyond voting in board meetings, everything else is voluntary.

Polls say Le Pen would lose but only close so nothing is certain.

I don't imagine many of Mélenchon's voters would switch to Le Pen on the second ballot, but then centrists politicians like Macron do tend to assume, without cause, that everyone not on the fringes love them.

I feel like there's a better chance they don't vote at all for the second round.

I can't remember Emma's team ever correcting false casting rumours. They probably think it at least keeps Emma's name out there.

Anonymous said...

Emma took to twitter when casting rumours for 50 shades were around to correct them and her team corrected claims she auditioned for girl with dragon tattoo if i remember?....

i doubted 50 shades from the start lol but girl with the dragon tattoo remake i think she really did cut her hair for it and tried the audtion as every big female star in hollywood tried for that role at the time but it didnt go well and she actually not honest here about the audtions as too many reliable sources and articles said she attempted it...

50 shades had no real articles from known sources and was a clear joke lmao

Anonymous said...

From mid-April-September Emma seems to like to tan and go to many beaches i think she will stick to latin america/mexico this year as she wants to be near USA currently for some reason(or at least it appears that way) this is the most time she spent in US consecutively for many years she could be filming or it could be nothing but lets pray she is working xD

Eden said...

I thought the Dragon rumours were debunked by Emma. Oops. Well, except for that one, her team generally doesn't say a thing. And I personally don't believe she cut her hair just for an audition.

Anonymous said...

Yeah I think she was always going to cut her hair for her own reasons but she just did it around the time that girl with dragon tattoo auditions were happening and she tried out for the hell of it maybe
but when it didnt work out she decided to just act like it never happened as maybe it was upsetting to be rejected like that for a role i dunoo

It was only said that they stayed their for some amount of time, not that they moved there and certainly not that she bought a house. Given that they only stayed their during the spate of lockdowns, it's more likely she rented or stayed in a friends house.

Doctor Strange has many cameos and so far only few are leaked. Emma was rumoured for Clea which now is Being reported as role taken up by Charlize Theron. Also y they r keeping the promotional tour with two or three cast members only so far! Coz MCU doesn’t want to spoil the cameos.
Emma has stopped talking about roles till they get into production stage now.
I find it intriguing, she was to work with Scar Jo in some capacity for three roles & they never happened..
Napoleon & Betsy (Emma talked about it but it never happened)
Summer Crossing (probably rumour only) never happened
Black widow … didn’t happen (Grace the movie blogger, thought it was a strategic decision on Scar Jo’s part for not going with Emma on that one)

the source is the daily fail for these claims and we know for a fact she wasn't in one place for 7 months she went to Italy and mainland spain and uk and never was in one place for 7 months

I was hoping Emma could be Princess Irulan in Dune 2…for some reason she fit the description, not Florence Pugh. But no hopes of her doing any movie. As I said before she considers photoshoots projects (how she told Chastain that in an interview), so she has done some photoshoots, here & there, appeared at award ceremonies so think she’s done with work quota 😁
