CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NON ટ FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE BUSINESS MODEL

2.1.5 CSR STRATEGY Developed in 2015 and updated in 2020, the consistency of the “Hermès ambitions” CSR strategy was confirmed by the work carried out this year, by the subjects taken into account by its stakeholders, and ultimately by the double materiality analysis in 2022. The underlying premise is: “All artisans of sustainable development”; it constitutes the CSR reference framework applicable to all Group employees and entities. It is based on appropriation and implementation of topics at a collective level, a key factor in its sustainability. The Sustainable Development Committee and the sustainable development department assist the Group’s subsidiaries and métiers to ensure its proper application. In 2022, more than 40 Group subsidiaries, métiers and cross‑functional departments used this strategic framework to formalise their own CSR roadmaps and highlight their specific sustainability challenges, ambitions and objectives. All of the House’s

Management Committees have therefore increased their knowledge of this subject, and worked on the operational implementation for their scope, with the help of the sustainable development department and third parties, where applicable, on specific technical subjects. This work reflects greater maturity within the Group, and forms the basis of an operational approach now fully deployed within the House. This work will continue in 2023 in order to transform these roadmaps into CSR performance management tools adapted to each of these entities and the Group. The Hermès Group’s CSR strategy makes a tangible contribution to most of the 17 sustainable development goals (SDGs) for 2030, as defined by the United Nations. Its action is also aligned with the responsible principles of the Global Compact, to which the Group adheres and under which its performance is recognised as "Advanced".
