(1) Change in methodology in 2020.

As a reminder, Hermès was included in the CAC40ESG index in 2021, which includes 40 companies on the basis of their environmental, social and governance performance and is based on Moody's ESG Solutions' rating (formerly Vigeo‑Eiris ). Hermès saw its rating improve in 2022, with a score of 65/100, and its position in the “Advanced” category maintained. The Group is now fifth out of 20 in the Luxury Goods & Cosmetics category. The rating agency Humpact measures the performance of 280 listed French companies, according to social dimensions such as job creation for seniors, job quality and gender parity. The House, already receiving an award in 2021, ranks in the top 3 of the most employment‑friendly companies in France and promoting the employment of people with disabilities. The “Advanced” level is the highest level of recognition that the United Nations Global Compact can award to a Communication on Progress (COP). Hermès publishes its COP on the Global Compact website each year. These assessments were also supported in 2022 by various awards and studies conducted by the press or external organisations (§2.1.1), including the Grand Prix de la Transparence , first prize in the Diversity Leader ranking of the Financial Times, and the 1st place ranking by Le Point magazine in the Clothing sector for the Most responsible company.

The CDP is an international organisation measuring the environmental performance of cities and companies according to a rating ranging from A to F with three distinct assessments: Climate, Water and Forests. This year, Hermès joined the prestigious A list: the Group is now ranked alongside the 330 companies deemed to have the best environmental performance. Hermès is rated A- on Climate, A on Water and A- and B on Forest. ISSESG (formerly Oekom) is a specialist ESG (environment, social and governance) rating agency. The scores it attributes range from D- to A+. Hermès once again achieved the “Prime” level with a C+ rating, recognising the top 10% of the best‑rated companies in their sector. The Sustainalytics rating agency, a subsidiary of Morningstar, one of the world’s leading providers of information and independent financial research, assesses the sustainability of companies through an analysis combining more than 80 ESG criteria. Steadily rising for the past three years, in 2022, the House improved its performance and was identified as the best player in the Textiles and Apparel (1st out of 191 companies) and Luxury Goods (1st out of 102 companies) sectors. The MSCI ESG rating index, which assesses more than 8,500 companies worldwide, measures the resilience of companies to risks (ESG) between AAA and CCC. In 2022, the House recorded growth in all categories: Environment, Social, Governance. It is now rated in category AA, compared to BBB in 2020 and A in 2021.
