MAIN AREAS OF EXPERTISE AND EXPERIENCE OF BOARD MEMBERS

3.4.5.2

The chart “Main areas of experience and expertise of the members of the Board appointed by the General Meeting” in §3.4.5.1 indicates: the seven areas of expertise selected; s the number of Board members for each area of expertise. s In 2022, the model for the annual declaration of the members of the Supervisory Board was supplemented: to break down the seven areas of expertise (see matrix below); s to enable each member to provide explanations of their expertise in the field in question (experience/training). s A description of the main areas of expertise and experience of each Board member can be found in the individual presentations in §3.4.8.

Each member of the Supervisory Board is asked to make a declaration listing the areas in which he or she has particular expertise. This declaration is made upon their appointment and again each year when the universal registration document is prepared. The seven areas given reflect the Hermès Group’s major operational challenges and the main issues that the Supervisory Board and its committees are called upon to oversee in the course of their duties. In 2022, a new area concerning knowledge of the history and culture of the House of Hermès was added in accordance with the objectives described in the diversity policy (see § 3.4.3.2);
