The arguments developed by the Group in this context are based on impact studies of draft regulations or legislation. They concern public decisions on various subjects: social, tax, road safety, the environment (including the fight against climate change). The Group’s positions are presented to public decision-makers to answer their questions or propose adjustments, making it possible to reconcile the interests of the Group, its customers, shareholders and employees, and the search for the public interest, defined according to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

P In 2020, the Group’s influence actions were mainly related to the impacts of the COVID-19 crisis on the markets and industrial, commercial and tertiary activities. As it has done for the past 10 years, the Group has continued to call for increased support measures for electric vehicles. Despite the health crisis and its impact on the markets, the reduction in the CO 2 emissions of new vehicles (CAFE) remained a priority for the company, which did not request a postponement of this regulation in 2020. The strategy and organization implemented by the Group since 2018 have enabled it to achieve its objectives in this area (see 2.2.3.A).
