ENVIRONMENT

WATER Theproductionunit of theHermès Leather Goods&Saddlery divisionhas a relatively low environmental impact in terms of “Water”. In fact, water is used only for sanitary purposes and for carrying out tests relating to the fire fighting systems. No volume of water is used for the process. The environmental impact in terms of “Water” is taken into consideration when designing new production units: The recently constructed l'Allan facility enjoys a rain water harvesting system that supplies water to the sanitary areas. Closer monitoring within each factory, makes it possible to control water consumption in the best possible manner and identify, if need be, pos- sible technical problems of leakages. Witha consumptionof 27,274m 3 in2017, thewater consumption ratioof the Leather division, which enables water consumption to be measured with a constant level of activity, remained stable.

ENERGY The energies used by the Leather Goods division are as follows: Electricity: electricity is the main power source for tools in the produc- tion units, as well as equipment for buildings. The ratio, at constant pro- ductivity, improved between 2016 and 2017. This decrease illustrates the focus on energy management in the context of equipment renewal: the criterion of electricity consumption was chosen as one of the deci- sion-making factors in the implementation of the machine investment strategy.
