RISK FACTORS AND MANAGEMENT INSURANCE POLICY AND RISK HEDGING

INSURANCE POLICY AND RISK HEDGING

4.2

Since January 2020, the prevention and insurance department joined the audit and risk management department, demonstrating the desire to further strengthen synergies between risk and insurance. In line with the Group risk analysis, the Hermès Group’s policy regarding insurance is to transfer any exposure that is liable to produce a material impact on profits to the insurance market. The Group insurance programmes represent most of the insurance coverage for the subsidiaries. They are placed via the intermediary of brokers who are amongst the 10 largest French brokers and with first-rate insurance companies. The main international insurance programmes cover:

In addition, in 2021, prevention visits by the property and casualty insurer were able to resume physically. 62 visits were carried out this year.
