CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY AND NON ‑ FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE PEOPLE: TEAMS

2.2.5 HEALTH & WELL‑BEING 2.2.5.1 AMBITION Hermès aims to guarantee all its employees a working environment conducive to their physical and psychological well‑being, and enabling them to reconcile their professional activity and their personal life. In addition to the work environment, and in line with the House’s protective vision towards its employees, Hermès has launched a project to roll out universal social protection for all its employees worldwide, based on five social protection pillars, which should enable everyone to face life’s uncertainties with more peace of mind. The conduct of a “Hermès à l’écoute – Hermès Hears” survey on the health, well‑being and engagement of all our employees worldwide in the first half of 2024, will enable an inventory of our strengths and areas for improvement on these subjects to be drawn up, before undertaking new concrete actions in a cycle of continuous improvement.

2.2.5.2

MEASURING AND PROMOTING EMPLOYEE SAFETY, HEALTH AND WELL‑BEING

HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY The diversity of the Group’s métiers, from production to retail, not forgetting the support functions, involves taking into account and managing different issues. Committed to the House’s humanist values, Hermès has initiated a “Zero Accidents” trajectory and formalised a Group Health and Safety policy in 2023 to support this dynamic. This policy, prepared by a working group made up of representatives of the French stores, the métiers, support services, the Group human resources department and the industrial department, was signed by the Group Director of Human Resources and validated by the Executive Committee. It will be updated every three years and its monitoring is already the subject of an annual presentation to the CAG‑CSR Committee within the Supervisory Board. This policy aims to create a common strategic framework that helps preserve the health and ensure the safety of employees. It is structured around four areas: Each métier and support function is committed to eliminating and preventing the risk of injury, preserving health over the long term and protecting the environment by controlling the risks and reducing the impacts identified. Any new Hermès industrial site, and any renovation, is designed and built with the health and safety of the craftspeople and partners working there as a primary concern. New or existing industrial practices, as well as processes and products, are constantly analysed to minimise their risks and effects on health and safety. Since 2003, the Group industrial department has managed an EHS network, made up of EHS managers from the House’s various métiers. With around 20 people, this network meets face‑to‑face twice a year to work on common topics, learn from the progress of other métiers and continue to receive training. This network has gradually been enriched by the presence of employees from retail, general services and the sustainable development department. In 2023, three webinars were rolled out in addition to face‑to‑face meetings to strengthen the network within the EHS community and support the teams. On a one‑hour format open to all, the webinars highlight certain local initiatives with strong cross‑functional potential. At the level of industrial sites, the EHS organisation of the métiers was strengthened in 2023 at Hermès Leather Goods & Saddlery, both centrally at the level of the coordination team and in each leather goods division. Thus, each division has a prevention team made up of an EHS division director, and, for each site, an EHS manager and an occupational health nurse (IDEST). Through his presence on the division’s Management Committee, the EHS Director brings occupational health and safety issues to the forefront. The central team leads the community of EHS directors with monthly updates on operational issues. In addition, priority topics common to the leather métier are managed in project mode and quarterly meetings are organised to share their progress. Advancing the Health and Safety culture Managing Health and Safety performance

Protecting employee health

Preventing risks

These four areas are broken down into 13 commitments, which are tailored to the particular nature of each activity and each country. For example, at the instigation of the Managing Director of the Cuirs Précieux sector and the Group Management Committee, an adapted version of the Health, Safety and Environment policy specifies the commitments of the sector to 2024 based on six objectives: guarantee and maintain regulatory compliance of sites; eliminate major risks and aim for “zero workplace accidents”; preserve the health of employees over the long term; control and reduce the impact on the environment; sustainably embed a Health, Safety and Environment culture at all levels of the organisation; guarantee the chemical compliance of the leathers over time. This policy leads to the development of the EHS roadmap for the sector, reviewed quarterly by a dedicated Management Committee in which the Industrial Director, the Director of Operations and the EHS team participate. Another example is the specific EHS policy of Hermès Manufacture de Métaux (HMM), which is based on six major objectives: preserve the health of our employees; prevent workplace accidents and aim for “zero workplace accidents”; reduce the environmental impact of our activities; comply with applicable EHS legal and regulatory requirements; verify the ethics of our supply chains; create and disseminate an EHS culture at all levels of the organisation. Locally, EHS managers adapt the HMM policy to the specificities of each site. HEALTH AND SAFETY GOVERNANCE The themes of prevention, Health and Safety are led by two members of the Executive Committee, each with an additional dimension: the Group Director of Human Resources, who is a signatory of the policy, monitors the consolidated indicators, presented by commitment, and the Executive Vice‑President Manufacturing Division & Equity Investments, to whom the industrial department reports, is currently in charge of most of the action plan.
