Now Hennessy is the largest Maison we have in Moet Hennessy, and it's the third largest Maison within all of the LVMH group. So it's a huge part of the business.

It's a relatively small community where people know each other. And even within our facility in Hennessy, oftentimes you have people who have worked in the organization for many decades. And maybe their parents worked in that same role they have, and maybe their grandparents worked in that role.

So diversity in Cognac, France, looks very different than what we would say of diversity in, say, Hong Kong or New York or London or Paris.

What does representative organization look like in Konya? Or what does representative organization look like in Tokyo? What does representative organization look like in Kuala Lumpur?
