Hermès, contemporary artisans since 1837
An entrepreneurial spirit
Combining creative freedom, innovation and the preservation and transmission of exceptional know-how, Hermès’ vision of entrepreneurial spirit shapes a unique artisanal and independent house.

An independent house
The house of Hermès remains committed to retaining the majority of its production in France, and to perpetuating its creative know-how. Supported by a family-based shareholding structure, it continues to assert an independence that testifies to its solidity and encourages the entrepreneurial spirit that has become its business model. This dynamism drives the house forwards in keeping with its human values and commitment to transmission and sustainability. The Hermès group has been listed in the CAC 40 index since 2018 and joined the Euro Stoxx 50 index in 2021.
A house that creates social value
As a responsible company, Hermès demonstrates its attachment to creating social value that promotes sustainable growth both in France and abroad. This is manifested collectively by job creation. In 2023, almost 2,400 people joined the company, including almost 1,400 in France.
Social value is also created at an individual level, with annual profit-sharing and incentive schemes benefiting all staff, as well as through free share plans. Hermès thus demonstrates its commitment to sharing the fruits of its growth with the men and women who embody the house’s entrepreneurial spirit through their work.

An entrepreneurial spirit at the heart of Hermès
Since 1837, an entrepreneurial spirit has guided Hermès in all aspects of its development. Embodying the human values of craftsmanship, it is demonstrated in its freedom and abundance of creation and constant capacity for innovation, combined with exceptional know-how, new manufactures and store openings, in synergy with local cultures.
In close proximity to their customers, store directors also actively demonstrate this entrepreneurial spirit, exercising the freedom they are given to compose the selection of objects offered in their store. This approach enables the specific requirements of customers in each area to be met with a distinct purchasing experience. The offer is extended to the hermes.com online store, which is being rolled out worldwide.
Six generations of artisans
Since 1837, generation after generation, Hermès has followed a dual thread – on the one hand the painstaking work of the craftsman in his workshop, and on the other the lifestyles of its customers.

CUSTOMERS AT THE CORE OF AN OMNICHANNEL NETWORK
The house has a network of 294 stores across 45 countries, each of which is a welcoming and unique “house of objects” that combines the identity of Hermès with the local culture, offering visitors an exceptional experience.
