Renault Group is pursuing a proactive policy of diversity and inclusion to enable all employees, whatever their differences or specificic needs, to interact and work together. We believe that diversity and non-discrimination is a guarantee of performance and sustainability, as well as a fundamental requirement. For this reason, we are deploying a Diversity and Inclusion strategy comprising several pillars.
Sustainable development
at the core of our strategy
Our sustainable development strategy supports the company's transformation and the pursuit of an equitable transition to safe, sustainable, low-carbon mobility. Our ambition is to design vehicles and, at the same time, to look after the people who make and use them, while also limiting our environmental impact.
The three pillars of our strategy
Our sustainable development strategy is key to our mission, allowing us to combine business performance with a commitment to customers, employees and the environment. Our Renaulution strategy reflects a sustainable and responsible approach, based on three pillars.
Environment
Our goal is to protect biodiversity, to do more with less, and to reduce emissions across the life cycle of our vehicles in order to achieve net carbon neutrality in Europe by 2040 and worldwide by 2050.
Safety
We are innovating continuously to make progress and deliver the highest standards of safety for the users of our vehicles, as well as for our employees.
Diversity and inclusion
Guaranteeing well-being in the workplace and promoting social inclusion through mobility.
Governance of our ESG strategy
The sustainable development strategy of Renault Group covers all ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) related aspects, for global management of our extra-financial performance. A Strategy and Sustainable Committee was set up in 2019 to strengthen oversight of these issues by the Board of Directors. The Committee’s main tasks are to:
- ensure the required level of commitment in terms of extra-financial compliance, ethics and social and environmental responsibility;
- examine Group policies, guidelines and codes;
- review and assess reporting and control procedures for non-financial indicators;
- review the deployment of projects and initiatives.
“Our main challenge is to position Renault Group as a future leader in sustainable mobility, able to weather the current upheavals in our industry and to create value every day for all the company’s stakeholders. This will require determination and focus, if we are to achieve a transition guided by innovation that is equitable from both an environmental and social standpoint. This is our responsibility.”
Jean-Dominique Senard
Chairman of the Board of Directors of Renault Group
“We see our environmental and social responsibility as one of the chapters of the Renaulution. Our plan of action for decarbonisation, inclusion, and the safety of vehicle users and employees reflects our strategic goals and supports value creation. Developed with our workforce, the plan is in line with our values of innovation and solidarity. It is supported by a group of members of the Executive Committee members and is an integral part of our activities. It is the operational expression of our corporate purpose.”
