In France, the frequency rate was 10.2 with a severity rate of 0.48 (respectively 11 and 0.51 in 2022). As the industrial workforce represents more than 68% of the workforce in France, it is consequently more directly affected by the risk of workplace accidents.

Looking solely at the international figures, the frequency rate is up slightly (4.91 compared with 3.79 in 2022). These employees, who mainly occupy positions in sales and support teams, are nevertheless significantly less affected by systemic exposure to at‑risk situations.

RISK ANALYSIS AND PREVENTION In view of Hermès’ activities, the risk in terms of workplace accidents is highest on its industrial sites. Hermès International’s industrial department manages an EHS programme organised according to successive cycles. The fifth cycle of this programme began in 2018 and ended in 2023. It has three components: provision of EHS regulatory monitoring for all industrial sites. The frequency of newsletters is adapted to changes in the regulations of the countries in which the sites are located: in France, the monitoring is shared quarterly. For the rest of the world, it is published half‑yearly or annually; s

elimination of hazardous situations. Thanks to two Group standards, the proper management of work at height and the control of water discharges are ensured by an annual self‑assessment; s development of a safety culture. The level of maturity in the sites’ Health and Safety culture is assessed annually using an internal framework structured into 13 pillars, relating to the fields of leadership, organisation or operations. The framework is designed to facilitate the identification of key actions enabling progress to be made in the Safety culture, and thus makes it possible to enrich operational roadmaps. s
