226 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 Renault Tech: mobility solutions to serve disabled people For more than 10 years, Renault Tech, a wholly-owned Groupe Renault subsidiary, has placed people with reduced mobility at the focus of its concerns, offering them a complete range of adaptations to Renault and Dacia vehicles, and enabling them to travel in complete autonomy and safety whether for business or pleasure. Through Renault Tech, Groupe Renault is the only European manufacturer engaged in the design, manufacture and marketing of vehicles dedicated to the transport of people with reduced mobility. Renault Tech adaptations include vehicle adaptations to transport wheelchairs (access ramps, internal fittings), swivel or exit seats to assist with wheelchair transfers and driving aids (accelerator/brake hand control, steering balls, multi-function remote controls etc. ). This offer is available in the whole of the French distribution network, and internationally via Renault subsidiaries. Each year, more than 1,000 adapted vehicles leave the factory at Heudebouville in Normandy and the Renault Tech site located in the Renault plant at Sandouville. For almost 20 years, Renault has had a partnership with Fédération Française Handisport (the French Disability Sports Federation), to which it provides financial support and adapted vehicles. www.renault.fr/vehicules/mobilite-reduite.html. A committed socially responsible 2.4.5.2 player Although mobility is a key element for the social and professional inclusion of people, millions of them nevertheless remain limited every day in their travel. Penalized by financial, geographical and social hindrances, too many people have to give up a job or a training course quite simply because they cannot get there. As a major player in mobility, Groupe Renault therefore decided to act for more inclusive and socially-responsible mobility by setting up a social entrepreneurship program that aims to favor the mobility of the most vulnerable. Initiated in 2011 and officially launched in France in July 2012, this program is drawn up in cooperation with players in the social and cooperative economy, the academic world and the public sector. Innovative partnerships have been forged in this framework to promote entrepreneurship and encourage inclusive mobility projects to emerge with Pôle Emploi (the French government employment service), Restos du Cœur or ADIE. We are aiming for this to be extended as widely as possible within the Company in France and in all the other countries where it is present, it is applied in three areas of intervention: Develop specific offers intended for vulnerable 1) people This concerns the development, with a viable entrepreneurial approach, of projects that have meaning for the employees of the Group, its customers and its partners, maximizing the social impact rather than the profit. Garages Renault Solidaires The Garages Renault Solidaires (GRS) offers are intended to support people who need a car to work but who cannot afford the financial cost. Renault’s network of garages voluntarily helps low-income individuals identified by welfare providers (charities, mobility platforms, welfare organizations, employment partners, etc. ) by offering them servicing and repair work at cost price but maintaining Groupe Renault service quality. Since 2019, customers whose cars are at the garage for work can receive a free-of-charge replacement vehicle from Identicar (for a maximum of three days). Only garages providing a Renault Rent rental service qualify for this offer. In this way, 1,500 people were directed to this program in 2020, and nearly 10,000 since its launch. Furthermore, in 2018, in partnership with the Enterprise and Poverty Action Tank and several partner welfare providers (at-entreprise-pauvrete.org ), Groupe Renault implemented a long-term lease scheme with purchase option linked to a micro-credit loan on its new passenger cars (Dacia SANDERO from €80 including tax per month) and light commercial vehicles (Renault KANGOO from €210 including tax per month). These services are exclusively aimed at individuals who are not eligible for conventional loans. Diac (Groupe Renault’s finance company for the Renault and Dacia brands) is a stakeholder in the scheme, which was offered to nearly 4,500 potential beneficiaries in 2020. Results obtained in 2020 show that the program is actually reaching its target: 74% of recipients of the LOA offer have household incomes below €1,000 net/month. These results also highlight a target market that encompasses more women, with 54%* of recipients over the entire offer being female. At the end of 2020, within the Renault network there were nearly 320 Garages Renault Solidaires across France. A dedicated website has been set up to enable a step change in the program and its social impact: https://mobilize.groupe.renault.com/. The application has evolved considerably during the year, to cope with a forecast increase in people seeking help from the program. This is expected to be generated by a forthcoming communication to the general public, with a corresponding significant increase in the social impact of the program; Financial investment in social businesses 2) A socially responsible investment company – Mobilize Invest – and company mutual investment fund (FCPE) Mobilize Invest s.a.s. has been offering funding and support since 2012 to innovative entrepreneurs developing mobility solutions for people in difficulty. Renault contributed €5 million to this company’s capital. Mobilize Invest is a certified Solidarity and Social Utility Enterprise company (ESUS). The capital provided by Renault is increased by contributions from the employee savings funds through the intermediary of the FCPE Renault Mobilize Solid'air . In 2020, the latter changed its investment to strengthen the environmental impact while maintaining its commitment to solidarity. This fund grew by 5.02% in 2020.
