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

The industrial affairs department coordinates these reduction plans and monitors the trajectory for reducing GHG emissions (scopes 1 and 2 including the impact of the energy consumed) to meet the Group’s commitments. Three principles guide the métiers: sobriety: each métier examines the use of energy, to constantly reduce its needs in terms of absolute value and per unit produced on the sites; s efficiency: each new piece of equipment is designed to improve energy efficiency compared to the previous generation. This point is all the more important as the life of industrial equipment can sometimes be counted in decades; s decarbonisation: as part of the “Phase out fossil fuels” programme, the sites are planning to phase out fossil fuels by 2030 in favour of renewable or low‑carbon energies. Each new project is an opportunity to integrate a share of self‑consumed renewable energy production. s

The voluntary energy audit campaigns, initiated in 2019 and being renewed in 2023 and 2024 on the French manufacturing sites, enrich the action plans undertaken in order to decrease energy consumption with a view to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Sobriety plan Hermès has historically been committed to a programme for reducing the carbon footprint of its activities, as well as to an energy sobriety action programme for several years. In 2020, the Group set targets for reducing its energy and environmental impacts (detailed above). At the end of July 2022, the French Association of Private Enterprises (AFEP) repeated the French President’s call, inviting all companies to define a voluntary reduction plan for their energy consumption, to be implemented from September 2022, in order to see results from the beginning of winter. This follows the particularly tense energy context due to the war in Ukraine and the one‑off difficulties encountered by the nuclear sector. Efforts therefore focused on managing and regulating the thermal comfort of buildings. Since the beginning of October 2022, in order to reduce energy consumption during the winter in France by 10%, a common approach has been adopted, adapting it to each of the sites, based in particular on:

a 2°C reduction in heating temperatures in winter; s the reduction of air conditioning in summer (+1°C); s

the optimisation of heating and air conditioning operating times; s the reduction in the intensity of the lighting according to the activity; s the anticipation of certain work to improve energy performance; s the shutdown of certain unnecessary equipment at night and on weekends; s the reduction of store window lighting times. s

For the whole of 2023, a review of the French sites was carried out: energy consumption was reduced by 6.2% compared to 2022 at constant scope. It should be noted that gas consumption was reduced by more than 11% overall. A more in‑depth assessment will be carried out at the end of next winter to confirm the best practices to be maintained, those to be corrected or those to be further developed.

Cristalleries de Saint‑Louis / 7% decrease in consumption in 2023 compared to 2022 ,-21% in intensity The processes using the most energy at the production unit are melting the material and working with it while hot. During each investment project, research is carried out to ascertain the best available technology in terms of energy efficiency and production volumes, which is then implemented. Energy, electricity and gas consumption decreased by 7% in 2023 compared to 2022, thanks to significant technological investments that will have their full impact in 2024. The new gas melting furnace

installed at the end of 2022 and fuelled by oxyfuel, made this progress possible : the gas consumption of this new equipment has been reduced by 30%. In addition, the waste heat produced by the installation is recovered to heat the adjoining museum, thus reducing this item of gas consumption by more than 40% over one year. Tanneries / 9% decrease in consumption in 2023 compared to 2022, 17% decrease in intensity per product over the same period This year, the tanneries continued their decarbonisation and energy efficiency work and consumed around 3,500 MWh less energy than in 2022, a decrease of nearly 10%.
