Job creation The group’s development is accompanied by continuous job creation. Having doubled its workforce in the past ten years, in 2025, Hermès had nearly 26,000 employees worldwide, over 60% of whom are in France. Hermès contributes to significantly regenerating the regions in which it operates. The resulting local socio-economic development makes it possible to provide staff with comfortable working conditions combining proximity with stable employment. Production sites in France The success of the collections is reflected in the sustained development of production sites. Production and training is carried out at 60 sites across France, organised into hubs in 11 different regions. This network is supplemented by 15 overseas production sites, located in Switzerland, Italy, the UK, the USA, Portugal and Australia. In France, the leather goods workshops are designed on a human scale, each with the aim of ultimately creating around 300 jobs, of which 250 are artisan jobs. Through its integrated production model, 55% of Hermès’ manufacturing is carried out in exclusive, in-house workshops, and 74% of objects are made in France, including 100% of leather goods articles. This unusual model of métier integration has been consolidated over time by the acquisition of longstanding partners, notably in leather, textiles, silk and tableware. The artisanal nature of this growth model generates a limited carbon footprint, while ensuring rigorous traceability of its raw materials and strict control of its supply chains and production. Training and the transmission of know-how Committed to preserving, transmitting and developing its excellence in craftsmanship, in 2021 the house opened the École Hermès des savoir-faire, which now runs 12 training schools across the regions and awards a CAP vocational qualification in leatherwork. Thanks to Hermès’ longstanding expertise in teaching its leatherworking know-how, this training leads to a national diploma certified by the French education department. In 2022, the École Hermès des savoir-faire was also certified by the French federation of leatherworkers to dispense the CQP professional certificate in cutting and stitching. By protecting the future of its exceptional know-how, this training programme offer supports the house’s growth. Sustainability for the environment Respect for nature – the source of its exceptional materials and the lifeblood of its sites – has been one of Hermès’ strongest and most abiding values. The group pursues a strict environmental policy, which aims to limit the impact of its operations in all sectors by introducing scientifically validated objectives in its immediate and wider sphere of responsibility. To reduce its impact on the planet, Hermès implements its commitments and initiatives by joining coalitions such as Act4nature International, and adhering to the leading international guidelines and benchmarks such as SBTN (Science-Based Targets for Nature). To support its development, Hermès has created Harmonie, a set of guidelines that lays the foundations for responsible real estate based on demanding criteria. Certified in November 2022 by Bureau Veritas, it establishes guidelines for the construction of new production facilities, stores and other sites for the house, and contributes to reducing the carbon emissions of existing sites. This standard, which sets out construction specifications for high environmental and social performance, is based on five criteria: the use of local operators and know-how for building, the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, guaranteeing healthy indoor air, preserving and improving the quality of the environment, and lastly, ensuring the health of living things. With this standard, Hermès is pursuing its commitment to providing sustainable and responsible real estate.
