issues and the circular economy, and in terms of operations in plants and the supply chain. With a view to continuously improving its alignment with the TCFD recommendations, the Group will further study these alternative scenarios and their implications on medium- to long-term performance. To measure its contribution to the decarbonization of the automotive sector, the Group uses a global carbon footprint reduction indicator for the Group’s vehicles over their whole life cycle. This carbon footprint corresponds to the greenhouse gas emissions a product generates over from extraction of the raw materials needed to manufacture it, to its processing at end of life. The carbon footprint calculation for Groupe Renault vehicles

includes direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions caused by the Company’s energy consumption during production (scopes 1 and 2), as well as most other indirect emissions associated with their design, manufacture, sale, use, and end-of-life processing (scope 3), as defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol. The Group is committed to reducing the average carbon footprint of its vehicles by 25% over the period 2010-2022 (see the scope and definition of the carbon footprint indicator in appendix 2.6.1.1), in line with the targets set in the COP 21 Paris Agreement. Other quantified indicators measuring the performance of action plans covering all the Group’s activities are presented in the rest of this chapter.

Scope: All passenger cars and light commercial vehicles registered under the Renault, Dacia, Alpine and Renault Samsung Motors brands worldwide. See section 2.6.1.1. Groupe Renault’s carbon footprint was estimated to be 96 million metric tons of CO 2 equivalent in 2019.

the reduction in the number of kilometers traveled (location of P suppliers in the country of production, optimization of logistics flows), based on a monitoring indicator for each new vehicle project, which measures compliance with recommendations concerning the location of the 130 most bulky parts; optimizing container load rates and packaging based on P eco-design; developing rail and sea transport as an alternative to road P transport. Progress on these measures is monitored by dedicated environmental performance committees which are co-chaired by the Director of the Alliance Supply Chain and the Vice President Strategic Environmental Planning.

Logistics

The Logistics ECO2 plan, which runs until 2022, is based on commitments by the logistics departments and regions regarding concrete measures rolled out in the following focus areas: the implementation of innovations P in transport systems, based on co-engineering between Renault teams and service providers, with a gradual deployment strategy. The

use of alternative fuels was thus tested (natural gas for vehicles, replacing diesel), as well as the use of versatile trucks that can transport vehicles and parts;
