Respect for the environment
Our approach is to anticipate and to manage environmental issues in a voluntarist manner as opportunities for new services and technological innovations.
Identified challenges
Groupe Renault is aware of the challenges and is using its DNA as an innovative generalist car manufacturer to build its environmental strategy. We advocate a model of sustainable mobility that’s broadly affordable and uses high-performance ecological processes.
Three environmental challenges…
- Fight against global warming: reduce greenhouse gases
- Preservation of natural resources: optimise their use and reuse
- Health, reduce polluting emissions
Through its environmental policy, Groupe Renault acts also to preserve biodiversity.

Groupe Renault has set three leadership goals: electric vehicles, the circular economy and driverless vehicles. As well as a cross-functional performance indicator: the reduction of its carbon footprint. These ambitions will be achieved by the Drive the Future plan, in 2022.
Electric vehicle
Groupe Renault considers electric vehicles the best global solution to the challenges of the environment and sustainable mobility for all. Already a pioneer and leader in electric vehicle sales in Europe, with the best supply in price and autonomy, Renault isn’t stopping there. Our new goals: to increase supply and accelerate the construction of a dedicated ecosystem.
Circular economy
For the Groupe Renault, the choice of a circular economy is both environmental and economic. It’s the only model capable of managing the consumption of raw materials and have a positive impact on the key resource issues, climate and air quality. Pioneer and leader of circular economics in the automobile sector, the group wishes to go even further.
New mobilities
Already invested in new mobilities services, Groupe Renault wants to strengthen its position in this field. It even aims to be a leader in autonomous, driverless vehicles, also called “robot vehicles”. Traffic flow, better road safety, reduced air pollution... We’re committed to developing new modes of transport, which will transform urban mobility.
Life-cycle assessment
Carbon footprint
The Groupe Renault has been the 1st automaker to publicly commit to a numerical target for the reduction of its carbon footprint. Compared to 2010, the decrease already reached -18.2% in 2016. The next step? To take this number to -25% by 2022. We thus remain a positive contributor to the decarbonization of the automobile sector, indispensable to fulfil the COP21 commitments.
