This educational program was launched in 2000 and is aimed primarily at children and teenagers. Currently running in around 10 countries, it is the biggest road safety awareness campaign in the world ever organized by a carmaker. It also includes issues such as environmental protection and eco-mobility. Teaching kits are available in paper format as well as applications for telephones and digital tablets, a "serious game" for PC/MAC, and the first virtual reality format is also available. The “serious game” offers three missions and numerous scenarios to raise the awareness of children between the ages of seven and eleven on road safety and sustainable mobility. Download links can be accessed free-of-charge from the program’s teaching resource (www.securite-mobilite-pour-tous.com/) . The international “Your Ideas, Your Initiatives” competition enables middle-school children to take an active role in their own safety and mobility. Despite the extremely restrictive health context, the 2019-2020 edition highlighted 55 very concrete initiatives, implemented by more than 1,500 students in 16 countries. Your Ideas, Your Initiatives: an educational program on road safety and sustainable mobility for teenagers Launched in 2011, the core of the project is an international competition promoted in schools on four continents. 578 projects were conducted in nine editions, by more than 14,000 students in 34 countries in Africa, America, Asia and Europe. The approach, based on participation and empowerment, is structured in two stages: research and identification of a problem in the community (Your Ideas), development of a campaign to solve it and evaluation of its impact (Your Initiatives). The 2019-2020 edition awarded prizes to three schools, in Spain, Morocco and Russia. Their respective projects dealt with the devastating effects of drinking and driving, promoting responsible driving to motorized two-wheelers, and transforming a park into a safe leisure area for local people. The Your Ideas, Your Initiatives program received the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award in December 2019. Global Road Safety Partnership In 2020, Groupe Renault continued to support the initiatives run by GRSP, an NGO hosted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. This organization brings together government agencies, the private sector and civil society to help emerging countries develop their own road safety capabilities, implement best practices, and set up the multi-sector partnerships needed to effectively develop road safety (see www.grsproadsafety.org ). In 2020, the GRSP worked in over 40 countries worldwide, through extensive national voluntary networks. Master in road safety management (Manser) To help road safety actors develop their own know-how, using global best practices and taking regional characteristics into account, Groupe Renault has co-developed a Master’s degree in “Road safety management” (Manser) for the Middle-East and North Africa, where road risk is particularly acute. The objective is to produce national and regional managers and experts capable of creating and coordinating road safety policies in their countries. Since it was launched in 2012, the program has enabled 88 students (some of whom receive financial aid) to take the 18-month course of theoretical and practical instruction. Employee safety Groupe Renault is particularly focused on road accident risk prevention and especially on employee training. Initiatives are constantly being taken to inform and train staff, including communication campaigns, road safety week and defensive driving courses. The prevention of employee accidents during commuting and business travel is part and parcel of the overall road risk prevention effort, which was launched by Groupe Renault many years ago. In France, Groupe Renault is a signatory of the road safety Charter (October 11, 2016), thereby confirming the Company’s commitment to the fight against poor road safety. In this respect, the Company has initiated a series of campaigns for Group employees internationally, throughout its engineering, manufacturing and sales operations. Specifically, it has updated and widely circulated the Groupe Renault Drivers’ Charter, which is focused on three main areas: “I plan my journeys,” “I adhere scrupulously to all good driving rules,” and “I am a responsible driver.” Since 2018, this Drivers’ Charter has been the foundation for an e-learning module for the Group’s employees worldwide. It aims to support and empower employees during their business travel and commuting, and on the job. Initially available in French, English and Spanish, this digital training module has been expanded this year to Brazilian employees. Other languages including Arabic are planned.
