Technical and economic value of parts and C. materials preserved in the automotive sector through the circular economy activities of the Group and its Renault Environnement subsidiary The “Technical and economic value of parts and materials preserved in the automotive sector through circular economy activities” indicator is designed to measure the outcomes achieved by the Group and its subsidiary Renault Environnement in terms of the take-up of circular economy principles at the various stages of the product life cycle. In keeping with the waste hierarchy, emphasis is placed on the reuse and extension of the product life span (including repair activities) and the closed-loop recycling of materials within the automotive

sector so as to preserve their technical properties and economic value. For example, the recycling of scrap metal from the Group’s production sites is only recognized when it is possible to ensure traceability within the automotive sector. This indicator only takes into account the added value generated by initiatives taken as a result of intervention by Renault or its subsidiary Renault Environnement, consistent with its purpose of measuring the Group’s performance. This means that metals recycled by the Group’s suppliers of sheet metal or metal parts is not counted (even if it would contribute significantly to the result) insofar as it is on the own initiative of those suppliers. The indicator is calculated on a like-for-like basis: when new activities are included, the baseline value (2016) is recalculated.
