2.5.3.2 At Beyrand, in the field of screen printing on different media (leather, canvas, glass, enamel, ceramics), activity also increased by 30% but with electricity consumption up by only 6.9% and gas down by 1.3%, illustrating the quality of the actions carried out in terms of energy efficiency. Similar results can be found at Puiforcat, where the number of units produced increased by 21% with a decrease in electricity consumption of 5% and an increase in process gas of +15% (for heating, this is a 33% decrease). At HCI, electricity consumption was decoupled from production (-6% in electricity consumption, compared with a 25% increase in the number of pairs of shoes produced). CONTRIBUTING TO THE ENERGY TRANSITION Since 1 November 2015, Hermès has decided to actively participate in the energy transition process by planning its operations and investments in order to direct its companies towards actions compatible with the trajectory of less than 1.5 degrees of global warming, via a “Just transition” to achieve net zero CO emissions by 2050 via its SBTi commitment, validated according to a trajectory to 2030 (§ 2.5.6). 2 With regard to renewable energies, photovoltaic panels installed on the J3LP site should be commissioned in 2023 and a project to install two wind turbines is being studied. At Juléa, a planned pergola with solar panels on the car park is underway and several installations of this type are being considered for other sites. Perfume and Beauty / 5% decrease in consumption in 2022 compared to 2021 In 2022, air destratifiers were installed in the warehouse to reduce energy consumption related to heating. The administrative extension finalised in October 2022 to meet the need for additional space complies with the RE 2020 standard and contributes to limiting the impact of these new surfaces on the site’s energy consumption. To contribute to the energy sobriety effort, the Vaudreuil site has reduced the heating instructions, shut down unnecessary equipment at night and weekends and limited the use of mobile heaters. Other sites At the CATE (Ceramics and Tableware) site, the production of finished products increased by 31% between 2021 and 2022. The increase in electricity consumption (+12% compared to 2021) was partly driven by the increase in firing volumes and longer furnace opening times (+100 MWh vs 2021). The remaining increase in consumption is spread between the operation of the building, whose operating times were extended with more workshops operating 2x8 shifts, and the consumption at workspaces. Despite longer opening times in the workshops and higher hot water consumption, gas consumption was well managed (-9% compared to 2021) thanks to the more precise management of heating systems, insulation of hot water circulation networks and better alignment of the target temperature with that requested.

2.5.3.2.1 In addition, in 2022, the Group purchased more than 10 GWh of biogas. A little more than 10% of the Group’s gas consumption is of renewable origin. Overall, more than half of the Group’s energy consumption (55.4%) is from renewable sources, compared with 47% in 2021. Developing renewable energies Working together with the Group real estate department, in particular, the House has a policy of using renewable energies, through the installation of geothermal heating or cooling, photovoltaic panels, the supply of green electricity for sites in France, connection to district heating and cooling networks and the use of wood‑fired boilers on some sites. Hermès wants to use energy from renewable sources (photovoltaic panels, wood‑fired boilers, geothermal energy, biomass, etc.) wherever possible, and has committed to implementing a policy of 100% renewable electricity in its own operations by 2025 . No new industrial investment running on fossil fuels is authorised, except where this is not technically possible. In addition, the Group is developing pilot initiatives, designed to be expanded as and when new investment projects, available technologies and regulations in force permit. As part of its renewable energy policy, Hermès sites (production, farms, logistics) produce electricity directly through the installation of photovoltaic panels. Two renewable energies are produced and consumed at the leather goods workshops. Wood is used to heat the Abrets and Nontron production units and the latest leather goods production units to come on‑stream (Allan, Montereau and Guyenne) benefit from photovoltaic installations. In 2019, the Maroquinerie MHM site in Aix‑les‑Bains signed a contract with an electrical energy supplier to install a photovoltaic power plant on the shades of its car park, with a power of 292 kWp. In 2022, this renewable energy production covered 29% of the site’s total electricity needs. Since 2020, the Maroquinerie de Guyenne in St‑Vincent‑de‑Paul (Bordeaux) has benefited from a photovoltaic plant on the roof with a capacity of 430 kWp. An integrated Microgrid system (balancing between photovoltaic panels, storage batteries and consumption sources), allows the management of electrical energy. This system covers 40% of the site’s energy needs and 80% of the electricity produced is consumed on‑site. Charging sockets for electric vehicles have been installed in car parks. All French sites (production, services, and exclusive stores) have been 100% supplied with green electricity (hydro, solar or wind) produced in France since 2021 . On a global scale, the Group’s renewable electricity supply amounted to 89.1% (up 2.2% compared to 2021).
