2.5.1.4 For external suppliers (§2.6.1), the Purchasing Committee reviews the results presented by the direct purchasing department as well as those of the indirect purchasing department several times a year. It monitors the number of audits conducted per year as well as the quality of the results. The industrial affairs department, under the control of the audit and risk management department (A&RMD), crafts action plans with the relevant métiers and monitors their progress. In 2022, the reporting of environmental indicators covers 100% of the sites in the scope of industrial production (68 sites on which actual data was collected). At store level, 100% of the scope was also represented (72% of information collected was actuals, 28% of information was estimated). COMPLIANCE, ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS AND FINANCIAL GUARANTEES In 2022, three sites were subject to formal notices described below. For each of them, a solution was presented to the environmental authorities as soon as possible. Effluent from the AEI site is sent to the municipal wastewater treatment plant. Following a check by the DREAL in October 2021, the site was ordered to bring two water discharge parameters into compliance by March 2022. The site immediately took the necessary measures and a second check made it possible to confirm the proper functioning of the facility and the compliance of the discharges with the site’s prefectural order in May 2022. Since 2012, in order to monitor environmental data from its industrial sites, Hermès has been using a reporting software accessible as a web resource to collect data about consumption at each site. The software also provides access to documentation explaining how the performance indicators are organised and defined. A consistency check is carried out automatically when the figures are entered, and again when the global consolidation is performed by the industrial affairs department, as well as for audits carried out by the Statutory Auditors. Since 2018, all industrial environmental indicators are reported for a period running from November through October. For methodological reasons, some of the activity data used in the scope 3 carbon emissions calculation cover a calendar year. For internal sites, oversight of environmental actions occurs in different ways. The industrial affairs department and its EHS Officers exert a first level of control within the context of a “water, energy, carbon, waste” plan that is updated each year. In the context of this effort, the audit and risk management department conducts audits on the critical topics included in the Group’s risk map (see chapter 4 “Risk factors and management”, §4.1). Lastly, external controls are performed on the Hermès Group’s suppliers to ensure all entities are covered. The industrial affairs department consolidates the results of these audits as part of an ongoing process of improvement.

Hermès’ environmental policy is based on several principles:

2.5.1.2 GOVERNANCE Environmental topics are supervised by a member of the Executive Committee in charge of the Manufacturing division & Equity Investments, who is supported by the industrial affairs department, and the Group real estate department. These topics are clearly at the core of the Group Sustainable Development Board's discussions. An annual analysis is conducted by the main métiers of the House when the strategic plans are being prepared to identify issues in terms of environmental protection. These various challenges go hand‑in‑hand with practical objectives shared with the Executive Committee. From a regulatory perspective, the Hermès Group’s policy is to establish action plans that are adapted to the various métiers , in order to understand and comply with regulations (primarily adapted to a very rigorous European legal contest) but also to monitor progress made. Each métier is responsible for monitoring and implementing the applicable regulations. The industrial affairs and Group real estate departments are responsible for alerts, oversight and control in this area, along with the Group's legal department, where appropriate. More specifically, the industrial affairs department, together with the métiers and all players in the production entities, is pursuing an environmental policy formally approved by the Executive Committee and, with the support of the commercial and real estate departments, coordinates the House’s energy programmes (construction, consumption, transportation). increase the resilience of the Hermès model in the face of environmental changes. Study their effects, inform and collaborate with our partners and suppliers to adapt the entire value chain. s comply with Environment, Health and Safety (EHS) regulations, working conditions, and prepare for changes in these regulations whenever possible. The industrial affairs department coordinates a network of EHS Officers at the manufacturing sites; s respect natural resources and favour the cleanest, most economical technologies and the most environmentally‑friendly substances; s manage energy resources by reducing energy consumption and favouring the use of renewable energies; s manage water responsibly and sustainably. Reduce volumes of water withdrawals, recycle and improve the quality of discharges in relation to ecosystems, particularly in areas with high water stress. Engage alongside stakeholders in watersheds to preserve this shared resource; s minimise waste production and recycle it as much as possible; s resolutely commit to a low‑carbon world, implement scientifically‑based objectives and actions compatible with a trajectory limiting global warming to 1.5°C by 2050, across the entire value chain and beyond Hermès’ sphere of influence; s
