Industrial water consumption of Hermès' activities 2010-2023
Industrial water consumption is a big sustainability issue for companies. This is especially true for the luxury sector and fashion industry as leather tanning and textile manufacturing use significant amounts of water. In 2023, French luxury company Hermès consumed 608 mega litre meters of water, a 9.3 percent decrease from the previous year. The group's industrial water consumption increased sharply from 2010 to 2016, after which it displayed a slight downwards trend.
