Groupe Renault - 2020 Universal Registration Document

220 GROUPE RENAULT I UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 2020 Find out more at group.renault.com 02 OUR SOCIAL COMMITMENT GROUPE RENAULT: A COMPANY THAT ACTS RESPONSIBLY The rules have been developed with the involvement of the global health and medical networks. The rules cover chemical, physical and psychosocial risks. Key requirements are established to assess and mitigate risks using the hierarchy of control, promote risk awareness and develop workers training. The launch was impacted heavily by the pandemic, which forced us to focus on measures to mitigate the risk of contracting the disease. Our primary focus was to ensure supply of efficient hand sanitization products and surface disinfectant. To meet the needs of all sites around the world, more than 150 products were examined and 130 validated for their effectiveness against COVID-19 and compliance with our HSE requirements. The psychosocial field is a key area. Preventing psychosocial risk requires cross-cutting and multidisciplinary work. In 2020, a psychosocial prevention specialist joined the DHSEE to structure the management of psychosocial risks. The first action was the drafting of a specific Mandatory Rule with 11 supporting key requirements. Preventive actions are also carried in partnership with other prevention stakeholders (HR and the medical team), for example: provision of guidelines to help managers give the best possible P support to employees throughout the COVID crisis; participation in working groups to analyze impacts of new ways of P working (teleworking); contribution to the monitoring of psychosocial risks in the context P of the transformation of technical and tertiary skills. Environment The Environment department includes 20 experts in various fields of environmental engineering such as soil remediation, air emissions, waste management, water treatment, regulation, and environmental management. The activities, achievements and targets of this department are extensively described in the “Environment” section of this report. In addition environmental risk mapping will be greatly enhanced with the roll-out of the eight Environmental Mandatory Rules/50 Key Requirements. This new tool, built on the example and on the back of the success of Safety Mandatory Rules, captures all relevant topics as far as the environment is concerned: Soils, Air, Wastes, Water Supply, Waste water, Legionella, Noise and Compliance. The tool was designed in 2019 and 2020 and was to be tested on various sites throughout 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic forced us to adapt the test phase and carry out audits and coaching sessions remotely. The roll-out phase will begin in 2021; over a 3-year timeframe, it will cover all manufacturing, sales, after-sales and logistics sites. A self-assessment phase will be carried out initially, with the remote support of the DHSEE. This phase will include Gemba validation. Occupational illnesses EFPD3a 2.4.2.5 The figures communicated are reported occupational illnesses. After analysis by the authorities, some of the illnesses were declared to be not attributable to Renault. The steady downward trend in the occupational illness rate came to a halt in 2020. The process for declaring occupational illnesses in Romania, simplified at the end of 2019 and therefore in place throughout the whole of 2020, explains this change. 4/5 occupational illnesses are musculoskeletal conditions. This demonstrates even more the importance of the Ergonomics Mandatory Rules implemented in new projects. More generally, improved project integration since mid-2018 will contribute to future progress. 0,0 0,5 1,0 1,5 2,0 2,5 3,0 3,5 4,0 4,5 5,0 Occupational illness rate (former calculation method) Occupational illness rate (new calculation method) 2014 2015 2016 2017 2020 2019 2018 3.6 2.7 2.2 4.4 1.1 0.96 1.06 1.27 Group absenteeism EFPD2b The rates vary greatly from one country to another, particularly because of the extent of social security coverage (whether provision is covered by public bodies or not). The rates changed very differently in 2020 compared to 2019, depending on the impact of the health crisis in the different countries. Overall, the increase remains limited, with a rate of 3.61% in 2020 compared to 3.28% in 2019. The absenteeism rate is expressed as a percentage and is calculated on the basis of the average monthly workforce and the yearly theoretical number of working days. The number of days of absence is expressed in working days, excluding short-time working, layoffs, strikes, training and leave (including maternity and paternity leave). An explanation of the calculation method is available in Appendix 2.6.2.
