INCLUSION RENAULT: A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY

Two Global Framework Agreements The Global Framework Agreements serve as a frame of reference for the application of Human Resources policy internationally, in accordance with national legislative frameworks and local social dialog conditions.

The Works Council may therefore be convened: as the Worldwide Group Works Council, bringing together P 40 members from 26 countries; as the European Works Council, bringing together 31 members P from 19 European countries; as the Group Works Council Restricted Committee, comprising P 11 members elected by the Worldwide Group Works Council; as the France Works Council. P This regular dialog enables Senior Management and employee representatives to anticipate more accurately any social aspects of changes at Groupe Renault level, in order to combine the Group’s financial performance and employee development in the context of globalized competition. The Groupe Renault Works Council is also the forum that monitors the two Global Framework Agreements “Committing together for sustainable growth and development” and “Working together to build a Groupe Renault working environment” , respectively agreed in 2013 and 2019. This year again, the Group Works Council Restricted Committee took on a steady workload, alternating between in-person presentations and exchanges with members of Senior Management and business activity experts, on-site visits and negotiations for a new Global Framework Agreement, on different aspects of life at work. Changes in the automotive industry, be they economic, technological, social or societal, were discussed on many occasions, both with the members of the Group Works Council Restricted Committee and those of the worldwide Group Works Council, which was given an in-depth presentation on Industry 4.0 and presentations on the changes in the business activities. In April, the 2019 Learning Session took the members of the Group Works Council Restricted Committee to Colombia to take a close look at the industrial, commercial and social challenges faced by Sofasa. Meetings with employee representatives provided a clearer understanding of the social and societal challenges, and specifically of well-being at work initiatives. Finally, the first part of the year was devoted to negotiating a new Global Framework Agreement on various aspects of life at work. On July 9, 2019, the Agreement was signed by Renault Management, representatives of national federations forming part of the Group Works Council, the secretary of the Group Works Council and the IndustriALL Global Union. The second part of the year was devoted to implementing the Agreement in all of the countries in which the Group operates. The 2019 plenary session included discussion workshops with all members of the Worldwide Group Works Council, while November saw the first follow-up meeting, focusing on implementation progress, particularly in France and Brazil. Changes in the world of work were particularly evident in the transformation of finance-related business activities.
