Renault Group Code of Ethics – 2024 Edition
The Renault Group Code of Ethics promotes value based on trust and respect, defines the state of mind in which professional relationships must be considered between employees, customers, suppliers, partners and shareholders and enacts principles that help distinguish what is acceptable from what is not. It invites us to integrity and vigilance and thus helps us question the attitude to adopt in the delicate situations that we sometimes face. It commits us to reporting behavior or requests that do not respect it and thus helps us to make the right decision in all circumstances. Like a compass, it guides us.
The Code of Ethics applies to each and every one of us, managers, employees, apprentices, temporary workers of Renault Group and its subsidiaries around the world. Its principles take into account the interests of customers, suppliers and shareholders. All those who work directly or indirectly with Renault Group can consult it, refer to it and draw inspiration from it.
The 2024 edition of the Code of Ethics offers new elements of content, practical cases and diagrams to facilitate its understanding.

In March 2025, as per its commitment in the previous year, Renault Group published its first Climate Association Report, dedicated to interest representation activities through its memberships in associations that conduct climate-related advocacy.
