A value-creating and sustainable French model
An independent house of creation since 1837, guided by the attributes of craftsmanship:
Responsibility, authenticity and a long-term approach. An integrated model of French manufacturing, providing in-house training and support for its craftspeople.
Humanistic management of employees. Useful and durable objects which combine functionality, aesthetics and quality materials and which are passed down.
A rich offer, combining creative freedom and the purchasing freedom of stores. A desire to give something back to the world.
A responsible and sustainable model
As a company that respects the nature that inspires it, Hermès ensures the preservation of its resources and its impact on natural environments and local ecosystems, with an artisanal production model. The Group is stepping up its efforts in terms of social, societal and environmental performance.
Its integrated craftsmanship business model places quality and sustainability at the centre.

Sustainable development strategic framework
In 2015, Hermès developed a strategic framework to address the social, environmental and societal issues identified. For nearly a decade, this framework has structured the Group’s approach to sustainable development, built around three strategic axes and six pillars. In 2025, it was updated to strengthen its relevance in light of evolving challenges and to support the Group’s long-term ambitions, while maintaining its founding guiding principle — “all artisans of sustainable development” — which remains fully valid. This framework serves as the Sustainable Development reference framework applicable across all employees and entities of the Group. It is underpinned by a collective appropriation and implementation of the topic, a key factor in ensuring its robustness and long-term sustainability.
