CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NON ટ FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE THE PLANET: ENVIRONMENT

An assessment of suppliers targeting their carbon footprint with an action plan to monitor and support them in reducing their GHG emissions is planned for 2023. Commuting Hermès continued to promote soft mobility for commuting in France (63% of employees), through the proposal of a long‑term rental solution for electric bicycles with a small contribution from Hermès Sellier and Hermès International employees; the Group pays 70% of the rental. In 2022, Cristalleries Saint‑Louis formalised an agreement on teleworking, in collaboration with employee representatives, making it possible to limit commuter journeys from time to time. In addition, a project to promote carpooling among employees is being studied. Commuting by the Textile division’s employees represents 3.5% of its emissions. The HTH site is present in several discussion groups with local authorities on mobility issues in order to reduce travel with a high carbon impact, requiring changes to the traffic networks. The sector's sites are gradually increasing the number of charging stations for electric vehicles: the Pierre‑Bénite division has thus increased the number of stations available to employees from two to 20. In 2022, the Vaudreuil site (Perfume and Beauty) offered electrically‑assisted bicycles to employees in addition to the charging stations set up on the site to encourage the use of electric vehicles. The implementation of a software platform promoting carpooling between J3L colleagues (four to six trips per month and per employee would lead to a reduction of 106.3 tCO eq per year). Compagnie des Arts de la Table et de l’Émail (CATE) located in Nontron has identified where employees live to encourage carpooling and has approached the local authority to identify ways to encourage soft mobility. The HMS division has an ambitious objective: to reduce the impact of employee commuting by 4% per year. To date, software has been implemented to both regularly prepare a mobility plan for each site and to measure the impact of each employee’s actual modes of travel. On sites already covered, the reduction commitment has been met and the solution will be extended to all production sites. Considering that societal expectations around mobility are very high, it seemed appropriate to aim for the formalisation of a Group framework by launching a pilot mobility plan for 3,000 employees located in Île‑de‑France. The project began with the analysis of the sites in October 2022 carried out by a specialist service provider. The employee survey took place in December 2022 with a very high participation rate. 2023 will be the year of analysis of the results and construction of the action plan, particularly in terms of options for a modal shift. Feedback on the systems put in place will be provided in order to assess their success rate and identify any necessary adjustments. Then, on the strength of this experience, a roadmap for the entire Group will be recommended. 2

Within the Tanneries and Farms division, greenhouse gas emissions related to the upstream and downstream freight of hides are constant compared to 2021. Since 2010, a maritime transport network for hides has been set up for alligator mississippiensis from the southern United States, crocodylus niloticus from Africa, and, since 2013, for crocodylus porosus from Australia. The share of maritime transport in the supply of raw crocodilian hides is similar to that of 2021 and represents a quarter of supplies. Raw hides from Australia are mainly supplied by sea (65% in 2022). The increase in maritime transport in the supply of raw hides is a focus of work for the supply chain teams as part of the division’s strategy to reduce scope 3 CO emissions. Within the HMS division, a fleet of biogas trucks was introduced in 2022 to transport finished products from the leather goods workshops to the central warehouse. The carbon footprint related to this transport has been reduced by 67%. In addition, considerable work has been carried out to optimise these flows, in particular by adding components that were previously transported via courier services. In 2022, the Shoe métier optimised its shipments from Italy to France in cardboard box pallets, with less intermediate packaging and fewer voids transported. Trucks now have a full load, thus reducing their number on the roads. The CATE site has a project to optimise shuttles between the Group’s sites and is studying LNG as an alternative fuel. Purchases of goods Decarbonisation of the Purchases of goods item can only be done in conjunction with suppliers or partners. The objective is therefore to support them so that they can carry out their own carbon footprint assessment and then allocate the appropriate share to each Hermès métier . For more mature suppliers, a questionnaire is sent to them to share their CSR strategy, their carbon footprint or their reduction trajectory, starting with their scopes 1 and 2. Supplier days are also organised with a focus on carbon. Thus, in October 2022, the Home métier organised the second edition of its supplier days in order to provide suppliers with more visibility on the strategy, future workload and sustainable development requirements. A presentation of the carbon footprint was supplemented by carbon footprint training given by two teams of consultants. Purchases of raw materials (leather, textiles, metals and precious stones, etc.) represent 61.2% of the total carbon impact and 64% of scope 3. A multi‑company group, bringing together players in the cashmere sector, has been created to work on cashmere emissions, identify the main sources of emissions and reduce them; the study will start in 2023 and the results are expected in 2025. In 2022, a circular economy project was launched for cardboard packaging for the Perfume and Beauty métier . The aim is to reuse the cardboard waste generated by the site for the manufacture of future cardboard boxes and limit emissions related to packaging. 2
