INCLUSION RENAULT: A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY

welcoming and/or supporting students into the Company to P accompany them toward the professions of tomorrow. Whether within the context of apprenticeships, internships, or even during business orientation programs, Groupe Renault places great importance on bridging the gap between young people and the professional world on every continent; reception and/or training of teachers. For the Company, training P teachers, strengthening their leadership to give them ways to transform their institutions, and inspiring and achieving change among young people is a challenge as big as educating students. In Colombia, the Renault Colombia Foundation continued its collaboration with the Empresarios por la Educacion Foundation in 2019 to train 12 school principals and three coordinators in Envigado (the city where the Groupe Renault plant is located). The program goes by the name “Rectores lideres transformadores”. Supporting access to education 2.4.3.2 throughout the world Renault is aware of the importance of education in creating value within a company, a region and in society overall, and this is why the Company has placed, at the heart of its CSR policy, corporate sponsorship actions enabling social inclusion through access to education and the fight against student drop-out. For example, the Douai plant and its local employment, vocational training and social work partners have been working together since 1999, and have already helped more than 1,500 people obtain a degree. Each year, a “New Skills” class starts preparing for a qualification as part of a professionalization contract. With the Renault Foundation, the Douai plant has supported the Lens Production School from the outset. Its support comes in the form of visits and the donation of an ESPACE. But it also includes sponsorship: the Groupe Renault Regional External Affairs Manager is sponsoring the second class going through the school. The Production School is a private technical school that prepares pupils for CAP and Bac Pro diplomas and certifications.

Schooling and inclusion Inclusion is at the core of Groupe Renault’s CSR values and access to education is a natural fit. Renault’s commitment to the most impoverished is evident in several of its actions in this area. In Morocco, Renault contributes to improving school conditions in the province of Fahs Anjra. It encourages the schooling of children, in particular for girls, and is fighting to reduce school drop-out rates in rural areas, through the supplying of school buses, and initiatives such as educational workshops. In all, 1,700 students benefited each day from the school bus service provided by Renault in 2019. The Moroccan subsidiary is also very involved in the prevention of road accidents. With the “Tkayes school” initiative, more than 10,000 children and their families benefited from the road safety education program in 2019. Renault Maroc has also opened four preschool classes in the province of Fahs Anjra for 90 children in the region. In 2019, the educational commitment was strengthened through the implementation of the mobile library project. The initiative aims to provide access to culture through reading material, cinema and different forms of artistic expression to young people from rural and suburban areas. 10,000 young people benefited from the initiative in 2019. In Brazil, the “Renault Experience” innovation and entrepreneurship program, organized by the Renault Institute, continued into its eleventh consecutive year. The program is aimed at students wishing to create start-ups. Candidates whose applications are selected by the Institute benefit from a year’s support for their project. On top of financial support, the winners are mentored by people from Renault and the broader automotive world and universities, who give them advice throughout the year.
