Health, safety, ergonomy and the environment (HSEE)  EFPD3  2.4.2

In accordance with its duty of vigilance, the Group establishes and implements a vigilance plan. Groupe Renault, jointly with its stakeholders, defined reasonable vigilance measurescovering personal health and safety in its Global Framework Agreement of July 2, 2013. This puts in place a preventive policy for health, safety and the work environment, based on nine general risk preventivon principles. In line with Groupe Renault’s philosophy of continual improvement, the Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) division was established in September 2016. Under the direct responsibility of the Executive Committee, it covers the entire Group scope: manufacturing, logistics, sales and after-sales, engineering and tertiary activities. The HSE department has, in particular, implemented new health and safety indicators. In 2019, the HSE department became the HSEE department (Health, Safety, Ergonomics and Environment department), attesting to its continuing desire to push workstation ergonomy further up the agenda.

Risk mapping  EFPD3a   DV1a  2.4.2.1 Since it has been created, the HSEE department has undertaken to visit numerous sites and departments covering all areas of activity of the Group. These visits led to the improvement of the 10 Mandatory Rules (MR) on safety and the detailing of the associated 74 Key Requirements (KR). These emphasize a broad range of key safety requirements to which Renault is committed in order to reduce risks and improve working conditions: 5S (a Japanese method covering order, tidiness, and cleanliness), work on installations (lock-out/shut-down of power supplies), access to dangerous parts of machines, management of traffic flows (safe sites, safe vehicles, safe drivers), storage and handling of lifting equipment, chemical products, joint activities, work at height, management of subcontractors, fire prevention, ergonomics, as well as many other issues.

As in previous years, the 10MR/74KR approach applied in all areas of the Group’s activity (production, logistics, marketing, engineering and tertiary activities) continued in 2019. In 2019, the HSEE department rolled out the performance assessment methodology to the 10MR/74KR in areas other than safety: health, the environment, ergonomy and projects. Regular evaluation procedures  EFPD3a  2.4.2.2  DV2a  Groupe Renault has established a roadmap for implementing 10MR/74KR that involves measurable stages of compliance with 10MR/74KR, going from a score of E to a score of A (E being the lowest level of compliance – 0 to 33%, A being the highest level – 90 to 100%). Construction of the action plan for new audits or coaching on sites takes their previous into account.

Compliance with each Key Requirement is mapped and each department of each site must provide proof that a concrete action plan has been put in place to improve its compliance with 10MR/74KR. The purpose of this approach is to control and measure the continual improvement in a consistent manner and to simultaneously define the priority issues to be targeted.

Actions adapted to mitigate risks

the necessary topics. MR for other areas will be tested on a number of sites. To go further in mitigating risks, the HSEE department has listed various areas of expertise related to HSEE issues that it is developing or is likely to acquire in 2019. As in 2018, specialists in safety, ergonomics, the environment and industrial hygiene have been added to the team. In connection with the Mandatory Rules, alongside the analysis of audit results and new projects, the HSEE department continued to work on standards to be created or adapted, the aim of which is to help the sites with various at-risk activities and to make sure that new projects are compliant with the expectations of the HSEE department. Actions have also been implemented with other departments, in order to strengthen the HSEE components of their own standards.

2.4.2.3

 EFPD3a   DV3a  The definition of action plan forms an integral part of the 10MR/74KR process. Under a continuous improvement approach, the sites may assess their performance through audits, as well as benefiting from support on the ground for the roll-out of best practices (coaching). These audits and coaching are repeated every two, four or six months, depending on the individual site’s performance. In 2019, 76 audits and coaching sessions were delivered. These audits and related coaching on the 10 Mandatory Rules are used to identify areas for improvement, and the related coaching helps the sites to progress. This approach will continue in 2020 to cover all of
