Hermès
Hermès creates beautiful and functional objects that can be repaired and passed on from generation to generation. The quality of the materials used, combined with the exceptional know-how of its craftspeople, contributes to the sustainability of its timelessly elegant creations. Attached to humanist and artisanal values, the company is committed to a responsible approach that rests, in its production and development, on a permanent demand for quality, and to which its cultural, social, and environmental commitments bear witness.
A desire to give back to the world some of what the world gives it
Partnership sustainability
Object sustainability
Quality is something that can be repaired. Because Hermès objects are passed on, the house’s repair workshops maintain them and extend their life.
Hermès and its partners share a common drive, and are making progress together in their CSR commitments.
Local roots
Employment sustainability
Natural resources sustainability
The company contributes to the active revitalization of regions: the location of its factories in regional centers allows employees to be part of a local social and cultural ecosystem.
As a responsible company, Hermès takes an active part in education
The house of Hermès pays particular attention to the passing-on of its exceptional know-how, as well as to its continuous improvement. It is therefore increasingly involved, from the onset, in the sustainability of its métiers and the excellence of its craftsmanship. It also promotes education through training in unique skills. In this same spirit, Hermès has an active policy of establishing and maintaining close links with leading schools in the fields of art, design, craftsmanship, engineering, and commerce, as well as with regional vocational schools.
The Fondation d'entreprise Hermès
Created in 2008, the Fondation d’entreprise Hermès is a patron of the arts, education, and biodiversity. The Foundation’s work rests on four pillars: teaching, creating, protecting, and promoting. It is carried out through several dedicated programs. Since its creation, it has supported over 900 projects in all fields.
