CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NON ટ FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE PEOPLE: SAVOIR‑FAIRE

Hermès, founding member of the Fondation “Des Territoires aux Grandes Écoles” In 2021, Hermès became a founding member of the "Des Territoires aux Grandes Écoles" (DTGE) Foundation, notably providing financial support. Created by former students of the French Grandes Écoles, this non‑profit organisation seeks to make the competitive entrance examinations of these schools accessible to diverse profiles. Noting that the lack of information, self‑censure, geographical distance and economic difficulties are powerful obstacles to the diversification of recruitment, this organisation works with 32 departmental intermediaries to cover the whole of mainland France and promote equal opportunities. The scholarships awarded to students allow them to focus on their studies and help them overcome the financial barriers that are an obstacle to the true social openness of the French Grandes Écoles. In 2022, Hermès hosted the summer school of the association “Des Territoires aux Grandes Écoles” in its Nontron workshops, an opportunity to open its doors and increase awareness of its local integration.

assessment of study projects during students’ defences of their work. Under its partnership with Sciences Po Paris' European Chair in Sustainable Development and Climate Transition, Hermès entrusted a group of first‑year students on the International Management & Sustainability Masters with a study of the challenges of Retail in the luxury goods industry (Capstone project). For the second consecutive year, the House is supporting and coaching the five students in their thinking for eight months (2022‑2023), in order to help them meet the strategic and international challenges of the chosen topic by giving them the opportunity to immerse themselves in Hermès’ culture and become aware of the House’s sustainable ambition. The topic proposed by Hermès is the issue of circularity in the luxury goods industry. The study covers different cities (located in Europe, the United States and Asia), for an international vision of the topic. The final student report is expected in the spring of 2023, and will include recommendations. The initial work focused on operational methods for managing product end‑of‑life. Another collective project was proposed by Hermès for Sciences Po Paris' Executive Master in "Regional Governance and Urban Development", focusing on local integration as a lever for sustainable economic development for companies and regions. Hermès’ activity has already been operating in the regions for more than 30 years, with around 50 production sites. The aim of this project is to objectively identify the impacts of this strategy and to characterise the resulting multi‑criteria positive contribution. The results will serve as a basis for comparative work in Europe, carried out under the aegis of Sciences Po Paris' European Chair for Sustainable Development and Climate Transition, with which Hermès has a partnership; In 2022, management figures from the House were able to interact with students, in particular within the framework of the forums organised by Sciences Po Paris, PSL, ENSAM and other partner schools. Nearly 50 meetings were held at key times when students were looking for internships and work‑study programmes. A School Communication kit is available to the teams to provide a framework for presentations and standardise them, with the aim of helping students get to know the Group better. The School Relations community conducts initiatives throughout the year to coordinate employer and school actions with the various entities. Monthly meetings with recruiters have been set up as well as an H Appeal Committee, which highlights the schools most relevant to Hermès. Initiatives to participate in school life and talent acquisition s

In the same vein, several partnerships have been forged with Sciences Po Paris to participate in school forums and its Accessible programme and to mentor students with disabilities. Lastly, Hermès participates in the “one young person, one solution” programme, aiming to train and facilitate the move into active professional life of all young people in all regions; Since November 2020, Hermès has sponsored the European Chair in “Sustainable Development and Climate Transition” at Sciences Po Paris, which focuses on complementary and inseparable areas of sustainable development: climate transition, economic development and social inclusion, through an approach that brings together a variety of players and expertise and is based on collective intelligence. Hermès funds the “Ouvrir la Science Économique” Paris School of Economics (PSE) research chair, whose aim is to establish strong connections between the various human and social sciences (history, sociology, demography, social psychology, political sciences, philosophy). The PSE Chair’s interdisciplinary approach is in perfect harmony with the House’s determination to contribute to the collective interest, the creation of social value, and the enhancement and protection of natural environments, by supporting the scientific expertise that makes it possible to advance academic research. Lastly, Hermès is supporting the construction project for the Crafts and Design Métiers Campus. This initiative is part of the Investment in the Future Plan (Innovation Territories) and intends to take initiatives around a network of training institutions and business partners with the aim of creating, on an economic sector scale, a cluster to promote synergies relating to employment and training. This inter‑ministerial project involves Education, Employment and the General Secretariat for Investment. It is supported by the Comité Colbert and the ENSAMAA Olivier de Serres, the leading institution of the Campus. In particular, Hermès will contribute to the creation of a materials library, training in its métiers (colour, savoir‑faire , etc.), inter‑company e‑learning modules, or advancement and promotion initiatives such as the European Day of art métiers , with a demonstration of certain savoir‑faire . In addition to its financial contribution, Hermès contributes through its skills in métiers to ENSAM’s industrial management expertise by collaborating in the development of the expertise educational module under the responsibility of ENSAM, proposing the priority study subjects for the first semester, providing presentations in certain face‑to‑face teaching modules and finally, by participating in the Initiatives to participate in public debate s
