The factory’s 5,700 square-metre building, set within an 11-hectare estate, was designed by the Coldefy architectural studio in Lille using a “bio-climatic approach,” with a wooden structure and façades, and extensive use of solar panels. The factory has a “high level of environmental performance,” meaning it produces more energy than it consumes and has a reduced CO2 footprint, as Hermès stated in a press release. “The Maroquinerie de la Sormonne embodies the house’s sustainable development ambitions, its commitment to the well-being of its employees and its pledge to create sustainable jobs,” said Hermès, anticipating that 260 new jobs will eventually be created at this site.คำพูดจาก สล็อตเว็บตรง
