LIFE CYCLE MANAGEMENT

Renault reduces the environmental impact of its vehicles at each phase in their existence through an innovative policy: life cycle management.

A global response to a multi-dimensional challenge 

Renault's sustainable development policy is based on life cycle management. At each step in a vehicle's existence – design, production, distribution, use, recycling – Renault applies the three components of sustainable development, namely environmental protection, economic profitability, and the well-being of society and the workforce.

Five areas of environmental progress 

Renault’s environmental policy is based on action in five complementary areas.

 

  1. Maintaining the value of our heritage: Renault’s industrial activities may harm the environment. The Group's answer: environmental management and risk management at each production site.
  2. Eliminating or reducing environmental impact: At each stage in the life cycle, Renault tries to limit environmental impact while favoring safety, comfort and quality.
  3. Developing products and services compatible with environmental protection: With the Renault eco² range, Renault brings customers a complete range of economical and ecological vehicles.
  4. Implementing environmental management through the company and throughout the vehicle life cycle. This priority is shared by all Group employees.
  5. Fostering environmental communication: customers, suppliers and investors have to be informed about Renault’s progress policy. The aim is to reconcile each person's efforts to boost the effectiveness of the Group's environmental policy.
