For a shared ethics
More ethical, fairer, more human, we will be individually and collectively stronger
A code of Ethics to guide us
The Renault Group Code of Ethics reaffirms our collective commitment to promoting values based on trust and respect between employees, customers, suppliers, partners and shareholders.
It calls us to integrity and vigilance whatever our role and responsibilities and describes the principles that help distinguish what is acceptable from what is not. It helps to ask us about the attitude to adopt in the delicate situations that we are sometimes confronted with and encourages us to report behavior or requests that do not respect it. It helps us to make the right decision in all circumstances.
It is a reference that applies to each and every one of us, managers, employees, apprentices, temporary workers, of the Renault Group and its subsidiaries worldwide. All those who work directly or indirectly with Renault Group can consult it, refer to it and be inspired by it.
