The company reports that 62% of its employees are based in France and in 2019 more than 100 agreements were signed. Therefore, we can assume that all the employees in France are covered by collective bargaining agreements. However, the indicator is marked "unknown" as the available information is insufficient as its scope is not for whole operations.

"Social dialogue

It is Hermès’ policy to constantly ensure that it implements and guarantees both qualitative social dialogue and freedom of expression for its employees. This involves both collective bargaining and daily participation by employee representatives in various projects and is essential to the functioning of the Hermès Group’s various companies.

In France (62% of employees), social dialogue is organised on a company-by-company basis, through representative bodies and through agreements signed each year. In other countries, dialogue takes various forms, depending on local customs and regulations. The Hermès Group’s code of ethics confirms Hermès' commitment to the conventions of the International Labour Organization (ILO), especially with regard to the freedom of association. In all the countries concerned, the policy is to ensure that the principles of freedom of association and collective bargaining are implemented, in compliance with local regulations. Hermès does not interfere with these fundamental employee rights."

"In the various French companies, social dialogue also involves permanent employee representative bodies and a robust and active collective bargaining process. Collective agreements have been signed in all companies that have trade union delegates. As a result, in France in 2019, more than 100 agreements and amendments were signed (including a Group agreement on setting up a purchasing-power bonus) on topics as varied as salary enhancement, incentive schemes, flat day rates and the right to disconnect, gender equality, and the establishment and functioning of Social and Economic Committees (SEC)."
