The Foundation’s non-profit corporate sponsorship budget for recent activities was €1.25 million (excluding in-kind donations), which was approved by the Board of Directors. The budget breakdown is decided by the Sponsorship Committee, a body with 15 members (five of whom are employees, while the others are from the Company’s major functions).

Groupe Renault foundations Some Group subsidiaries now carry out their philanthropic activities within a foundation or similar structure. This not only strengthens governance and strategy, but also demonstrates the importance given to the identified issues from both an internal and external standpoint. Financed locally, they are chaired by the Chief Executive Officer of Renault in the country. Since 2009, the Head of the corporate Foundation is represented within the governance of each new Foundation. The Foundations’ corporate purpose, as identified in the by-laws, encompasses all or part of the Group’s CSR priorities. The activities performed on behalf of the Foundations are primarily aimed at populations outside the Company, and range from the local to the international, depending on the country and the programs implemented. The activity reports are available directly on their respective websites.
