Water Water consumption at the site is down 19% compared to 2015. This is due to the renovation of hot water pipes, tests involving the extraction of sprinkler water from the fire basin and better overall network main- tenance (elimination of leaks). It is used almost exclusively in the was- hrooms and company restaurant, and on occasion for washing tanks and to top up the fire system reservoir. Energy The increase in natural gas consumption, dedicated entirely to the hea- ting of premises and catering, was limited to 2.3% in 2016, despite the colder winter than in 2015. The main reason for the small increase was

the recovery of energy in air compressors, which can be used to heat domestic water without using boilers, as well as an improvement in the settings of the equipment. The leather goods workshop still represents one-fifth of the site’s overall consumption. Electricity consumption was down slightly compared with 2015 (-1.7%). The main reasons behind the gain are the replacement of compressors (the new models boast a better performance) and the insulation of air ducts in the air conditioning systems of manufacturing premises. The leather goods business still accounts for approximately 5% of total elec- tricity needs. Fuel oil consumption was stable compared with 2015.

Watches TheWatches division consists of LaMontreHermès (design, manufacturing and distribution of watch products), Joseph Érard (manufacturing of watch cases) and Natéber (manufacturing of dials). To capitalise on synergies between the two businesses and the amalgamation of teams, the Natéber and Joseph Érard activities were combined on the Joseph Érard site in Noirmont in November 2016. Redevelopment work was carried out on the production area, office space, ventilation systems, treatment station and production equipment of the Noirmont site to allow it to accommodate them. The car park was also extended.

Water Water is used solely for domestic purposes at La Montre Hermès, but plays a part in the electroplating process at Natéber and for was- hing at Joseph Érard. Substantive work has been carried out to align water consumption with processing requirements. It has reduced total consumption by 35%.

Energy (fuel oil, gas, electricity) Gas and electricity consumption is stable.
