Hermès // 2021 Universal Registration Document

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY BUSINESS MODEL

CSR STRATEGY 2.1.5 Developed in 2015 and updated in 2020, the Hermès CSR strategy “Ambitions” is still consistent with the double materiality analysis of 2021. The underlying premise is: “We are all artisans of our sustainable development”; it constitutes the CSR reference framework applicable to all employees. It is based on appropriation and implementation of topics at a collective level, a key factor in its sustainability. The Sustainable Development Committee and the sustainable development department assist and supervise the Group’s subsidiaries and métiers to ensure its proper application.

The Hermès Group’s CSR strategy makes a tangible contribution to most of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for 2030, as defined by the United Nations. Its action is also aligned with the responsible principles of the Global Compact, to which the Group adheres and under which its performance is recognised as "Advanced". In practical terms, Hermès’ CSR strategy is organised around six operational pillars, themselves subdivided into 49 topics that serve as benchmarks for the operational actions of the House’s entities.
