BUILDING TOMORROW’S MOBILITY FROM TODAY RENAULT: A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY

Raise awareness

Global Road Safety Partnership

In 2019, Groupe Renault continued to support the initiatives run by GRSP, an NGO hosted by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. This organization brings together government agencies, the private sector and civil society to help emerging countries develop their own road safety capabilities, implement best practices, and set up the multi-sector partnerships needed to effectively develop road safety (see www.grsproadsafety.org). In 2019, the GRSP worked in over 40 countries worldwide, through extensive national voluntary networks. Master in road safety management (Manser) To help road safety actors develop their own know-how, using global best practices and taking regional characteristics into account, Groupe Renault has co-developed a master’s degree in “Road safety management” (Manser) for the Middle-East and North Africa, where road risk is particularly acute. The objective is to produce national and regional managers and experts capable of creating and coordinating road safety policies in their countries. Since it was launched in 2012, the program has enabled 76 students (some of whom receive financial aid) to take the 18-month course of theoretical and practical instruction. Since the creation of the Manser, 55 scholarship students have graduated. Employee safety Groupe Renault is particularly focused on road accident risk prevention and especially on employee training. Initiatives are constantly being taken to inform and train staff, including communication campaigns, road safety week and defensive driving courses. The prevention of employee accidents during commuting and business travel is part and parcel of the overall road risk prevention effort, which was launched by Groupe Renault many years ago. In France, Groupe Renault is a signatory of the road safety Charter (October 11, 2016), thereby confirming the Company’s commitment to the fight against poor road safety. In this respect, the Company has initiated a series of campaigns for Group employees internationally, throughout its engineering, manufacturing and sales operations. Specifically, it has updated and widely circulated the Groupe Renault Drivers’ Charter, which is focused on three main areas: “I plan my journeys,” “I adhere scrupulously to all good driving rules,” and “I am a responsible driver.” Since 2018, this Drivers’ Charter has been the foundation for an e-learning module for the Group’s employees worldwide. It aims to support and empower employees during their business travel and commuting, and on the job. Initially available in French, English and Spanish, this digital training module has been expanded to Brazilian and Chinese employees. Other languages including Russian are planned.

RAISEAWARENESS Because it is important to learn the right habits from an early age, and as children are also road users, Groupe Renault continued its “ Safety and Mobility for All ” international road safety program during the 2019-2020 school year, based on its expertise in automotive safety. This educational program was launched in 2000 and is aimed primarily at children and teenagers. Currently running in around 10 countries, it is the biggest road safety awareness campaign in the world ever organized by a carmaker. It also includes issues such as environmental protection and eco-mobility. Teaching kits are available in paper format and also as tablet applications. A serious game offers three missions and numerous scenarios to raise the awareness of children between the ages of seven and eleven on road safety and sustainable mobility. Download links can be accessed free-of-charge from the program’s teaching resource center (www.securite-mobilite-pour-tous.com/). The international “Your Ideas, Your Initiatives” competition enables middle-school children to take an active role in their own safety and mobility. The 2018-2019 edition highlighted almost 80 tangible initiatives, implemented by almost 2,000 students in 15 countries. Twentieth anniversary of the “The Road and Me” program in Portugal Since 2000, Renault Portugal has rolled-out the “The Road and Me” educational program for children between the ages of seven and eleven. In Portugal, the UN’s decade of action for road safety is coordinated by the Ministry of Health. This Ministry accordingly took an interest in the “La Route et Moi” (The Road and Me) program, which it validated and approved by adding the Portuguese government’s stamp to the roll-out kits. The list of schools was provided by the Education Minister, and the establishments that take part in the program officially add it to the students’ curriculum vitae. In almost 20 years, 750,000 children have been made aware of Road Safety through the “La Route et Moi” program. Every year, 4,000 kits are printed and sent to schools, and they can also be downloaded from the website www.segurancaparatodos.com
