At constant scope, it fell between 2015 and 2016.

2.5.3.1 Group The energy consumption of the Group’s industrial sites, stores, offices and ancillary premises amounted to 202,125 MWh in 2016, compared with 180,625 MWh in 2015. In view of the diversity of the various businesses, economic environments, geographies and changes in group scope, further analysis is needed to assess the Group’s efforts in this area. Since 1 November 2015, Hermès has decided to participate actively in the energy transition process. All the French sites (production, services, stores) are now supplied with green energy, mainly hydro, produced locally.
