CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NON ટ FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BUSINESS MODEL

2.1 BUSINESS MODEL

The Hermès Group presents its value creation model using graphics (see the following pages) in order to put the distinctive features of its highly integrated French craftsmanship manufacturing model into perspective. This approach is designed to help explain the activities of the House, its footprint and contribution to a more sustainable world, in their economic, social, societal and environmental dimensions. The Hermès Group’s model is unique in many ways: a family‑run business rooted in a tradition of craftsmanship, the foundations of an eagerness to ensure transmission of skills and sustainability; s fundamental heritages, sources of sustainability, that are continuously reinvented: creation, materials, savoir‑faire and retail; s

objects designed to last: rigor and responsibility that are the life force of the House’s 16 métiers (see chapter 1 “Presentation of the Group and its results”, §1.6); s a French House with an international reach: 76% of production is made in France; s an integrated model, from the manufacturing of objects made in its in‑house and exclusive workshops (55%) to distribution throughout the world, tailored to local situations; s controlled development and solid results; s a contribution to a more sustainable world through its operating model, through a humanist vision of its activity, the harmonious sharing of value created and a desire to give back to the world some of what the world gives it. s
