“I believe that families in business have an impact that goes well beyond the family business itself” – Camus Wines and Spirits President Cyril Camus

With this special award I hope to properly celebrate the unique value Ernesto and the Bertarelli family have contributed to our global economy and society, and inspire other families to continue to leverage their value systems into positive impact.”
