‘Burberry Forward’ is our strategic plan to reignite brand desire, improve performance and drive long-term value creation.

In this next phase, our focus is on reconnecting our brand with its founding principle, which is to design clothing to protect people from the weather. We are leaning into our heritage and leveraging our strengths with a disciplined approach, as we believe we have the most opportunity where we have the most authenticity. As part of this, we are evolving our brand expression and product offer to appeal to a broad base of luxury customers.
