Better Health for All

Renault Group's OneHealth program provides equitable access to healthcare for employees and their households, covering 95% of the workforce as of June 2025, with a target of 100% by September 2025.

The program includes free health check-ups, a digital wellbeing platform, 24/7 psychological support, and teleconsultations. It operates through a network of 148 health centers across 12 countries, with services also open to employee household members. The company aims to provide health cover that is at least equal to or better than national standards in each country. Renault Trucks supports the World Food Programme (WFP) by training 350 people in vehicle maintenance and logistics, which helps deliver food to 120 million people annually in over 120 countries. Renault Trucks also partnered in creating a transport training center in Accra, Ghana, which has reached 500 people from 26 countries, improving the distribution of essential goods like food and medicine.

Fair Money & Economic Opportunity

Renault's CareMakers program targets underserved clients, including those on low incomes (less than or equal to 14,000 euros of reference tax income per unit) and job seekers.

In 2021, 509 vehicles were financed through this program in France, compared to 2.9 million vehicles sold by the Group in 2020, indicating that less than 1% of total customers are from underserved segments. The program offers microcredit and allows payment to start from the fourth month for those on trial periods. It partners with financial institutions specializing in constrained budgets and microcredit organizations like Adie, Caisse d'Epargne, Parcours Confiance, and Créasol. The company provides information on its inclusive offers on its website and the French national web portal "mesaidesverslemploi.fr", detailing steps for services. The CareMakers program has helped over 3,000 people access mobility solutions over 10 years, with 94% of beneficiaries reporting the vehicle helped them find or maintain a job, and the proportion of beneficiaries on permanent contracts increasing by 2.5 times. The Mobilize Invest fund operates on a "no profit, no loss" principle. The program is available in metropolitan France, with nearly 50 garages offering vehicles and over 300 offering maintenance at preferential rates. Products are described as having detailed steps on the website and teams advise customers transparently.

Fair Pay & Worker Respect

Renault Group achieved a 0% gender pay gap globally in 2023.

The employee satisfaction rate was 76% in 2020. A social agreement signed in December 2024 for 2025-2027 includes improved health insurance with 100% company coverage of additional costs for employees in France.

Fair Trade & Ethical Sourcing

Renault Group conducts CSR supplier audits based on a triennial plan for high-risk facilities or those not meeting required CSR assessment levels.

From 2018-2023, Renault conducted 152 social, safety, health, environmental, and ethics audits of supplier sites. The company aims to control supply risks within a two-year timeframe. Renault Group's human rights due diligence policy, referencing OECD and UN guidelines, is applied to cobalt and high-risk minerals, with an aim to extend it to nickel by the end of 2024. In 2020, 93.1% of direct purchase volume was covered by a CSR assessment, covering top 500 parts and top 200 services suppliers, representing approximately 88% of total purchasing. Renault Group has identified aluminum and electronics as materials of concern due to their connection to the Uyghur Region, with some suppliers highly likely sourcing from there. Renault has direct sourcing agreements for nickel in Finland (2021) and lithium in Germany (2021), Morocco (2022), and France (2023). Suppliers are requested to provide written commitment to CSR guidelines, and new suppliers are required to acknowledge and endorse the 'Global framework agreement on social and environmental responsibility' in their General purchasing conditions. If assessment results do not meet CSR requirements, an action plan is requested, and if inadequate, Renault and Nissan may suspend new RFQs or exclude the supplier. A grievance mechanism received 568 new reports in 2023, with 29% of closed cases confirmed. Audits of cobalt suppliers have identified no critical non-conformities.

Honest & Fair Business

Renault Deutschland AG has an internal Reporting Office for human-rights and environmental risks in the supply chain, which includes a web-based reporting form and explicitly protects whistleblowers from retaliation.

For complaints, the company acknowledges receipt within 7 days and provides feedback on follow-up actions within 3 months, if contact details are provided. Renault Group has an anti-corruption code of conduct available in 17 languages, and Renault Trucks has an anti-corruption program with training available to all employees. However, the policy's effectiveness or customization for high-risk areas are not detailed, and the whistleblower policy's effectiveness is not publicly measured.

Kind to Animals

Renault Group has committed to eliminating animal leather from all its vehicles by the end of 2025, following discussions with PETA France.

New models like the Renault 5 E-Tech Electric, Symbioz, and Rafale already feature leather-free interiors made from recycled materials. The company has a global ban on animal testing across all product categories and actively advocates for phasing out tests industry-wide. For leather products, suppliers are expected to follow the OIE rules and UNIC standards, and abide by REACH regulations for animal testing. However, the company's policy to refuse bio-sourced materials containing biomass, without further context, does not indicate a positive ethical input substitution. While 100% of suppliers have received Green Procurement Guidelines, there is no evidence of the percentage of suppliers audited for welfare compliance. Renault cooperates with stakeholders and multi-stakeholder organizations to explore complementary policies towards indigenous peoples and local communities, but this is not direct advocacy for animal welfare policy improvement.

No War, No Weapons

The company, RNL.XETRA (Renault), has no evidence of revenue from direct arms or defense contracts in its core business.

However, its policy on responsible procurement of cobalt and minerals from conflict-affected and high-risk areas does not provide any quantitative data on the percentage of its supply chain certified free from conflict minerals, indicating a lack of verified conflict-free sourcing.

Planet-Friendly Business

Renault Group's total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions were 108 Mteq.CO2 in 2024.

The company's emissions reduction targets were validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in 2019, with a commitment to developing targets aligned with a 1.5 °C scenario. In 2024, 48% of the Group's electricity consumption came from renewable sources. Renault Trucks diverts 99.9% of its non-hazardous waste from landfill. By the end of 2024, 26 models, representing 78% of global passenger car sales, had undergone a complete life cycle assessment. The share of materials sourced from the circular economy in new vehicles was 30% in 2024. Renault Group asked its 500 main suppliers to complete the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP Supply Chain) questionnaire, and 35% of these suppliers have SBTi-approved targets. By the end of 2024, 37 site diagnostics had been carried out to identify ecological sensitivities and actions for biodiversity preservation, and 88% of act4nature commitments made in 2021 were achieved. Renault Group adopted a policy for bio-based materials in 2022 to prevent adverse effects like deforestation. Renault Trucks SAS reported no environmental compliance violations in 2024. An environmental analysis is carried out each year to measure the impact of Renault Trucks. The Group has a net-zero carbon target for 2040 in Europe and 2050 worldwide. Its report is aligned with TCFD recommendations, and its strategic plan was built around a scenario of limiting global warming well-below 2 °C, also examining 1.5 °C, 3 °C, and 4 °C scenarios. Measures to increase the density of parts and packaging avoided 4,136 tons of CO2e. Renault Group created ReKnow University in 2021, training 37,000 people since then, including 500 staff from suppliers, to address job transformation in the automotive industry.

Safe & Smart Tech

Renault experienced a significant cyber security incident in October 2025, where thousands of UK customers' personal data, including names, contact details, gender, vehicle identification numbers, and vehicle registrations, were compromised from a third-party provider.

No banking or financial information was exposed. Renault informed customers and relevant authorities, including the U.K. Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), about the breach. The company states it has a regulatory compliance program and strives to comply with all applicable obligations, including GDPR, but the breach indicates some implementation gaps. Renault Group explicitly integrates 'privacy by design' and 'privacy by default' principles, and states it collects only strictly necessary data (minimization). However, its privacy policies are described as lengthy and complex, and vague about specific data points collected, raising questions about whether more data than necessary is collected. Users have rights to access, correct, erase, and port their data, and to object to processing and marketing, but the privacy policies are complex and do not detail the level of control users have over their data.

Zero Waste & Sustainable Products

The company recycles 92.4% of its manufacturing waste in France.

The average recyclability of vehicles sold is over 95% by sales-weighted mass. New vehicles currently contain between 20% and 30% recycled materials. Renault implements eco-design principles, including designing parts with a single material to simplify recycling, and Renault Trucks designs for longevity, regeneration, repurposing, and return. Waste reduction initiatives include using fewer virgin materials, more recycled materials, reusing parts, and recycling materials in closed loops. The company systematically records and reports parts covered by REACH legislation. Renault Trucks focuses on extending truck lifespan and offers remanufactured parts that save up to 85% on raw materials. The company has not reported any waste disposal violations in the past three years. Renault Group has a goal of 33% recycled materials in vehicles by 2030.
