INCLUSION RENAULT: A RESPONSIBLE COMPANY

Groupe Renault’s contribution to the B4IG incubator is its “Mobilize” program. Mobility is essential for both societal and professional integration, particularly for those living in rural areas. However, the high costs of purchasing and maintaining a vehicle are often prohibitive. In order to address some of these problems in France, Renault has joined forces with Caisse d’Epargne, Enterprise and Poverty and Pôle Emploi to launch the LOA Mobilize program which provides micro-finance facilities to people on low incomes, enabling them to lease and eventually buy a new car. The initiative is based on an economic model which makes leasing a new vehicle less expensive than buying a used vehicle. Often the latter is the only feasible option for those on a low income, but ends up being more expensive in the long term due to higher maintenance costs. In addition to its positive economic impact, the program also has other measurable targets including reducing unemployment, reducing stress and insecurity and decreasing CO2 emissions. LOA Mobilize currently funds leasing for 1,000 cars. The initiative could be widely extended in the future thanks to the operational and financial support of the B4IG incubator. An internal Pitch&Poc At the end of 2019, the Social & Sustainable Impact department launched its second Pitch&Poc, an internal innovation competition aimed at identifying and providing mentoring support to the innovative project ideas of Groupe Renault employees worldwide.

In 2018, three departments worked together to hold the first competition in partnership with the Creativity department. They were the Sales & Marketing department, the Supply Chain department and (for the first time) the CSR department. Of a total 600 project entries, 150 projects were selected in the CSR category. Their creators were then invited to a one-week bootcamp in Paris. The event was supported by Corporate for Change, a firm specializing in social intrapreneurship. The following projects were shortlisted: Drive the Inclusion: An Argentinean project to promote an P inclusivity, whereby dealerships in Argentina sell a small toy packed by a sheltered workshop employing people with disabilities; WE R Culture, We R Renault: An Indian project to sell fair trade P automotive accessories to support local Renault communities; Digital Inclusive University: A project offering training on digital P roles to jobseekers; EnergiZE: A pilot project for green dealerships. P At the end of the program and after each team had pitched their project, the panel selected Drive the Inclusion for the CSR category. However, given the high quality of the three other projects, Renault decided to support them by providing an internal Renault mentor. strengthen their sense of pride in belonging to the company and encourage them to become agents of change. 16 countries held local Mobilize Days, including Algeria, Argentina, Austria, Brazil, China, Colombia, France, India, Italy, Korea, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Spain. During these Days, a total of 32 sites were “mobilized” to implement more than 160 CSR-related actions. A wide range of events from lectures to forums, exhibitions, film screenings, games and site visits, etc. were organized in line with the main pillars of the company’s CSR strategy (see section 2.1.1). For example, in China road safety days were held for children. In Algeria, Renault Algeria employees and their families cleaned Tamentfoust beach. Colombia and Argentina held a number of road safety events throughout the week, which were repeated internally. The Technocentre and Boulogne-Billancourt sites in France collected 700kg of clothing for charity La Cravate Solidaire. Calculating the impact of societal initiatives To ensure consistency between social and societal actions undertaken in the company and the Mobilize approach, the Group aims to allocate 80% of its societal expenditure to the five commitments listed above, namely diversity, education, social entrepreneurship, environment and road safety. The remaining 20% are used to support needs in other areas as identified locally.

Facilitating a global CSR network 2.4.6 To ensure the consistent and appropriate roll-out of the Mobilize initiative, the Social & Sustainable Impact department facilitates, coordinates and relies on a network of CSR liaison officers in the main departments and most of the countries in which the Group operates. Each year, it sends a letter containing CSR guidelines, setting out the main principles and priorities of the coming months, to all of the Group’s CSR liaison officers and subsidiary managers. It also calls all CSR liaison officers to meet for the annual CSR Convention. This event, which takes place over several days, is an opportunity for thinking on the major commitments made in Mobilize, and to share experiences and achievements in a multicultural context. Workshops are also organized for collective thinking on given themes and to explore new ideas.

Mobilize Days: an annual meeting dedicated to inclusion and sustainable mobility in the Group For the second year running, in June 2019, the CSR department held a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Week covering Groupe Renault as a whole, referred to as “Mobilize Days” or “Mobilize Week” based on the country. The 2019 theme for this event (selected by CSR liaison officers worldwide) was employee community commitment. The purpose of the event is to inform and raise awareness among employees about the company’s CSR approach and initiatives taken throughout the Group in the areas of inclusion and sustainable mobility. It also aims to inspire employees,
