Environmental impacts: actions and indicators 2.2.3

Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic

2020 that resulted in a clear deterioration in performance per vehicle produced (see 2.2.3.A Energy and climate change and 2.2.3.D Water consumption and quality ). Similarly, the decrease in the number of vehicles produced has a direct impact on the indicator measuring the total quantity of recycled plastic incorporated in new vehicles, and also reduces the quantity of recoverable metallic waste, thereby affecting the “Technical and economic value of parts and materials preserved in the automotive sector through circular economy activities” indicator (see 2.2.3.B Resources and the circular economy

Due to the health crisis and its consequences on the Group’s activities, the results for some of the environmental performance indicators are difficult to compare with those of previous years. Some indicators relating to the industrial scope are particularly concerned, whether the indicator is expressed in absolute terms or in relation to the number of vehicles produced. For example, energy and water consumption at production facilities is not strictly proportional to manufacturing volumes (the “heel” effect), and in

for both indicators ).

2022

-19.6% (compared to 2010)

Beyond 2022, the Group will continue to monitor this indicator, with a progress trajectory at least equal to that undertaken since 2017. World: reduce the well-to-wheel CO 2 emissions of Group vehicles by 45% between 2010 and 2030. Europe: reduce the well-to-wheel CO 2 emissions of Group vehicles by 50% between 2010 and 2030. Reduce the carbon intensity (2) of Group sites by 60% between 2012 and 2030.

Worldwide: reduce the tank-to-wheel CO 2 emissions of PC and LCV ranges by 25% between 2010 and 2022 in order to meet the Group’s carbon footprint reduction objectives and to comply with the regulatory requirements for the relevant markets.

See definition, scope and calculation method for Groupe Renault’s carbon footprint in section 2.6.1.1. The main methodological changes between the periods 2010-2016 (1) and 2016-2022 relate to the integration of the greenhouse gas emissions of the Renault Retail Group sales network into the accounting scope, and the standardization of CO 2 emissions for vehicle use according to the new WLTP certification procedure for the 2016-2022 period instead of the NEDC cycle used for the 2010-2016 period. The reduction rate of the carbon footprint between 2010 and 2022 is considered at constant scope and calculation method. Direct and indirect emissions linked to energy consumption for Groupe Renault sites (excluding AVTOVAZ, which is currently being integrated into the environmental (2) reporting scope, divided by the total number of vehicles produced (scope and calculation method: see scope 1 and scope 2 categories in the Renault carbon footprint category table in section 2.6.1.1). Energy consumption of Groupe Renault’s sites (excluding AVTOVAZ) divided by the total number of vehicles produced, see chart in the Manufacturing section below. (3) Following the widening of the reporting scope in 2012 for direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions (to include direct emissions from fixed air-conditioning units) and (4) 2013 (indirect emissions linked to thermal energy purchased), the reference year for the emissions reduction objective was set at 2013, and not 2010 as was the case for the carbon footprint objective. The consolidated environmental reporting scope covers all of the sites listed in the “site environmental indicators in 2020” table under section 2.6.1.3, i.e., all manufacturing (5) sites, together with the main Groupe Renault logistics, tertiary and engineering sites, excluding the RRG Commercial Network, which comes under a special reporting system as detailed in section 2.6.1.4. Average gross emissions (not adjusted for the effects of geographical and model mix) in kg CO 2 /km per vehicle produced linked to upstream transportation (parts for the (6) Group’s manufacturing sites) and downstream transportation (transportation of new vehicles), excluding AVTOVAZ, which is currently being integrated into the environmental reporting scope. Excluding AVTOVAZ, which is currently being integrated into the environmental reporting scope. (7)
