Today, we reaffirm our commitment to respect and promote the universal values of the Global Compact and to contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. We are determined to contribute to building a sustainable future by deploying a bold and responsible growth strategy that creates shared value with all of our stakeholders while respecting our planet. Luca de Meo, Chief Executive Officer of Groupe Renault The 10 principles of the Global Compact Launched by Kofi Annan, the Secretary-General of the United Nations, in July 2000, the Global Compact is a voluntary commitment framework by which companies, associations and non-governmental organizations are invited to respect 10 universally accepted principles affecting human rights, international labor standards, the environment and the fight against corruption. Each year, members must attest to the effective implementation of these principles in a “progress communication” report, which is posted on the Global Compact’s website. Twenty years later, the United Nations Global Compact is the world’s largest voluntary corporate sustainability initiative, bringing together more than 13,000 participants in 170 countries. Nearly 70 local networks around the world ensure a close relationship with members and national mobilization. The Global Compact is also the starting point for any organization seeking to support the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), adopted in September 2015 by the UN. These goals provide a universal agenda to be achieved by the year 2030 for a more sustainable and inclusive world. These 10 principles are inspired by: the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; P the Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work; P International Labor Organization; P the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development; P the United Nations Convention against Corruption. P Our contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted in September 2015 by the Member States of the United Nations, is an action plan designed to eradicate poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all human beings live in peace and prosperity. It is structured around 17 Sustainable Development Goals and 169 targets that take into account the three aspects of sustainable development: the economy, social aspects and the environment. The latter are aimed at all stakeholders: States, local authorities, civil society, and economic and financial actors. Through its geographical footprint, the diversity of its businesses and its commitment to CSR, Groupe Renault contributes – to a greater or lesser extent – to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals identified by the United Nations. Its contribution is highlighted in the table below, which lists the targets to which Groupe Renault is committed together with examples of initiatives, and highlights the SDGs to which the Group contributes directly: SDGs 3, 5, 8, 11, 12, 13 and 16.
