2.5.3.1 Group The energy consumption of the Group’s industrial sites, stores, offices and ancillary premises amounted to 208,406 MWh in 2017 (compared with 202,125 MWh in 2016), excluding fuel consumption, which was negligible. In view of the diversity of the various businesses, economic environments, geographies and changes in group scope, further analy- sis is needed to assess the Group’s efforts in this area. Since 1 November 2015, Hermès has decided to participate actively in the energy transition process. All the French sites (production, services, stores) are now supplied with green electricity, mainly hydro, produced in France. This means that a Group level, two thirds of the electricity consumption are supplied through green sources.

2017 in%

Overall energy consumption increased by 4.3% in 2017, compared to 2016mainly due to the fact that at Saint-Louis (+20%), thenew furnaces, currently fuelled mainly by natural gas, produced crystal throughout the year, and were back at the 2014 activity level. The consumptionof energy in the Textile, Leather and Tanneries divisions remained stable compared to 2016 in a growing business scenario, mar- king the efforts carried out in the field.

2.5.3.2 Industrial Over the last decade, the Group has maintained its ambition of decou- pling with a X 1.3 increase in industrial energy consumption compared with an X 3.1 increase in business volumes. Since the Group launched its environmental programme in 2002, des- pite a four-fold increase in industrial output, energy consumption had only doubled, testifying to the improved management of consumption.
