Hermès, the renowned Parisian luxury house, has received high praise in a recent survey conducted by Capital magazine and polling institute Statista. In the category of Apparel and Accessories, Hermès emerged as the top brand. This recognition comes at a time when the company has been lauded for its efforts in creating employment opportunities within the country. Hermès now stands among the most dedicated companies to promoting diversity.
To determine this ranking, Statista interviewed a representative panel of over 25,000 employees from companies with more than 250 employees. These employees were asked to rate their employers on various important topics, including gender equality, non-discrimination based on age and origin, and the integration of individuals with disabilities.
In the overall top 10, pharmaceutical laboratories Johnson & Johnson and Lilly claimed the leading positions, followed by Club Med. Hermès secured an impressive sixth position on the list. This recognition was largely attributed to the success of Hermès’ Alterego training program, which was designed to “open managers to the richness of diversity.” This internal program was first implemented within the French entities of the group in 2017.
Scoring an impressive 8.45 out of 10, Hermès stands as the leader in the Apparel and Accessories segment, alongside more mainstream brands. The LVMH group also received recognition in this category, ranking 11th. In the cosmetics category, the top three positions were occupied by L’Oréal, Procter & Gamble, and the beauty division of the Chanel group.
Hermès’ commitment to diversity and inclusion was also highlighted in the European Diversity and Inclusion ranking conducted by Statista for the Financial Times in November of last year.
