ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

ENVIRONMENT

covers Groupe Renault’s own performance and also those of its suppliers, particularly production and logistics activities. The CO 2 emissions of vehicles during the use phase account for a significant portion of the carbon footprint, so reducing these is high on the Company’s priorities. They are therefore regularly monitored at Group Executive Committee level (position with regard to CAFx regulations). Action plans, results and associated indicators are shown in sections 2.3.3 “Environmental impact: actions and indicators” (sub-sections A, B, D, C.a, E) and 2.3.2 (environmental objectives table: internal audits and ISO 14001 certifications).

Other activities As regards to engineering and testing activities, sales and after-sales activities in Europe and South Korea, spare parts storage facilities, the largest centers managing these activities have the same organizational structure as the industrial sites. A global carbon footprint reduction indicator throughout the whole vehicle life cycle enables to manage action plans and provides a concise overview of the Group’s contribution to the decarbonization of the automotive sector. The progress of the various action plans which support this carbon footprint reduction target is measured by quantified performance indicators. The carbon footprint indicator Climate change

See definition, scope and calculation method for Groupe Renault’s carbon footprint in section 2.6.1.1. The main methodological changes between the periods 2010-2016 (1) and 2016-2022 relate to the integration of the greenhouse gas emissions of the Renault Retail Group sales network into the accounting scope, and the standardization of CO 2 emissions for vehicle use according to the new WLTP certification procedure for the 2016-2022 period instead of the NEDC cycle used for the 2010-2016 period. The reduction rate of the carbon footprint between 2010 and 2022 is considered at constant scope and calculation method. Direct and indirect emissions linked to energy consumption for Groupe Renault sites (excluding AVTOVAZ, in which Renault acquired a majority stake in December 2016, (2) and for which environmental reporting is currently in development), divided by the total number of vehicles produced (scope and calculation method: see scope 1 and scope 2 categories in the Renault carbon footprint category table in section 2.6.1.1). Energy consumption of Groupe Renault’s sites (excluding AVTOVAZ) divided by the total number of vehicles produced, see chart in the Manufacturing section below. (3) Following the widening of the reporting scope in 2012 for direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (to include direct emissions from fixed air-conditioning units) and (4) 2013 (indirect emissions linked to thermal energy purchased), the reference year for the emissions reduction objective was set at 2013, and not 2010 as was the case for the carbon footprint objective. The consolidated environmental reporting scope covers all of the sites listed in the “site environmental indicators in 2019” table under section 2.6.1.3, i.e., all manufacturing (5) sites, together with the main Groupe Renault logistics, tertiary and engineering sites, excluding the RRG Commercial Network, which comes under a special reporting system as detailed in section 2.6.1.4. Average gross emissions (not adjusted for the effects of geographical and model mix) in kg CO 2 /km per vehicle produced linked to upstream transportation (parts for the (6) Group’s manufacturing sites) and downstream transportation (transportation of new vehicles), excluding AVTOVAZ, in which Renault acquired a majority stake in December 2016, and which is currently being integrated into the environmental reporting scope.
