Social Issues of Hermès

I have not came across any social issues of the Hermès company in my research. If Hermès' workers were living in bad conditions, I would like the see the company taking further steps into making the worker's conditions more acceptable. If these people were the ones making your purses or belts then I think their conditions would be not so good. Though the ones that are behind the counter selling it, I feel like their living conditions wouldn't be as bad. There is something wrong here. The ones that put forth the effort to actually manufacture the products aren't getting enough pay in the factory work, yet the ones that get to stay in the air conditioned store dressed up fancy get adequate pay. The idea I have is for the company to make people feel equal which would also make the workers enjoy working there more if they feel like they were being accepted.

If Hermès was harming the environment, which many of the PETA followers would not be too excited about and already think they are harming the environment seeing that their products are made out of animal material, then maybe Hermès could start using a different material to make their things out of. Though Hermès is known for the leather and ostrich purses, bracelets, belts and so on, it would be an issue to find a replacement for their materials.
