Susan and David Rockefeller, Girard-Perregaux
and Christie’s join forces and
present the premiere of “Food for Thought,
Food For Life” documentary
to advocate for environmental health and sustainability
philanthropists Susan and David Rockefeller, together
with Swiss luxury watch manufacturer, Girard-Perregaux and auction house
Christie's, presented a special premiere screening of “Food for Thought, Food
for Life”, the latest documentary by Susan Rockefeller, at the Rockbund Art
Museum in Shanghai. The movie focuses on the development of healthier and
sustainable food sources and the future of ecological and agricultural
environments, underscoring the Rockefellers’
advocacy work under their personal motto of ‘Protect What Is Precious’.
A roundtable discussion about “Food, Environment
and Culture” followed the screening, and included the Rockfellers, Dai Jianjun,
creator of the Dragon Well Manor restaurant and organic food pioineer, and Ma
Jun, founder of the Institute of Public & Environmental Affairs, a leading
figure in environmental protection in China. The discussion focused on increasing people’s
awareness about sustainable food practices and advocacy for a healthier planet
and future.
Inspiring dialogue
and collaboration around sustainable business practices is a shared
responsibility. Susan & David Rockefeller, Girard-Perregaux and Christie’s together
share the belief that their joint event and subsequent collaborations are
important steps toward a more healthy, sustainable future for all. "We should especially respect all living things and the soil and sea that
support human life”, said Suan
Rockfeller. “It is my life-long purpose to protect our planet, a place which
defines the real meaning of wealth. I am very pleased to be partnering with Girard-Perregaux,
a company which shares my values around sustainablity and combining creativity and
tradition to create a better new world."

event and to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the brand’s iconic ladies’

Precious’ special edition timepiece, designed in collaboration with Susan
Rockefeller. The timepiece features 73 tsavorites on the white hand-polished mother-of-pearl dial ranging

Girard-Perregaux and the Rockefellers jointly share. Designed for women who
appreciate the preciousness of time, the beauty of nature and need to protect
our planet, this special edition watch is engraved with the motto “Protect What
Is Precious” to raise environmental awareness.
