Relations with schools/universities worldwide How do we create a permanent link between the Company and academic institutions, knowing that education is critical to value creation and to the development of the next generation of future employees? Over the years, Groupe Renault has sought to address this question by taking action in partnership with schools, high-level colleges and universities throughout the world. The Renault Foundation’s academic programs A.  EFPD14d  As part of its activities with academic partners, the Foundation continued its academic sponsorship of higher education based on the principle of equal opportunities. These initiatives were entirely devoted to higher education. The Foundation’s role, in collaboration with its academic partners and Company management, consists in particular of anticipating new professional skills requirements. It supports: the financing and joint creation of academic programs in P partnership with prestigious universities in France (Essec Business School, École des ponts ParisTech, Arts et Métiers ParisTech); the allocation of “foundation scholarships” (study and P accommodation costs) to French and foreign students selected in partnership with the Foundation’s partner universities located in 12 countries worldwide; the financing of other foundations dedicated to supporting P deserving young French students from underprivileged backgrounds (Georges Besse Foundation) or to sharing technical and scientific knowledge and innovation (Fonds de dotation Universcience). On the academic side, the Foundation continued to support five educational programs in 2019, with particular focus on three areas at the heart of the Company’s concerns: sustainable mobility, digital transformation and road safety: a professional degree in Electric Vehicles and New Mobilities P (LPVNM); a master’s degree in Transportation and Sustainable Development P (TRADD); two specialist master’s degrees: Electric Vehicles and Autonomous P Vehicles (MS VEVA) (to replace the master’s in Mobility and Electric Vehicles) and Managing Digital Transformation and Innovation by SMIB (English-speaking program) with ESSEC Business School; a master’s degree in road safety management (MANSER). P 2.4.3.1

The Foundation identifies young talents, and then welcomes and supports them throughout their academic years. For example, it organizes and finances in full a year of study in France for its scholarship students: monthly grants, enrollment in the French schools and universities, social security, round-trip travel between the home country and France and economic and cultural discovery trips. In 2019, it welcomed 72 new students. In accordance with its articles of incorporation, Renault Foundation is not an incubator of young talent for Renault. It operates independently of the Company’s recruitment policy. As it deals with academic sponsorship, its role is to train young people in the professions of tomorrow’s automotive sector. However, Renault does offer work placement/apprenticeship opportunities for those young people who want to undertake this part of their training at the Company. Within Groupe Renault B. Groupe Renault subsidiaries are also involved in higher education in their respective countries. For example: in Romania 30 students enrolled on the Electronic Systems P Engineering Masters at Bucharest Polytechnic University, Valahia Targoviste University and Cluj Technical University received a study bursary from the Group; ▪ the Renault Foundation Colombia continues to provide support to P underprivileged engineering students through its “Renault German Camilo Calle” program.
