PRODUCTION

Environmental respect begins at production sites. The commitment made by Renault in 1995 is reflected today by complete success: all of the company’s production sites have obtained ISO 14001 certification.

ISO 14001 : an environmental standard 

ISO 14001 certification reflects the quality of a company’s environmental management system. For industrial sites, it constantly measures progress made in terms of water and energy consumption, visual and noise pollution, atmospheric emissions, and production waste. That all of Renault’s plants have obtained certification demonstrates the Group’s ongoing commitment to reducing its environmental footprint.

10 years of ISO 14001   

Sandouville was the first Renault plant to obtain ISO 14001 certification, ten years ago. The certification cycle continues today, with SOMACA (Morocco) and Avtoframos (Russia) the last two production sites to come aboard, in April 2008. This Group is thus confirming its ongoing environmental, economic and social involvement at all of its sites.

Major progress  

Since 1997, environmental management at Renault sites has yielded the following results:

 

  • 28% reduction in energy consumption (kW per vehicle)
  • 63% reduction in water consumption (m3 per vehicle)
  • 67% reduction in waste (kg per vehicle)
  • 40% reduction in volatile organic compounds (kg per vehicle)
  • 47% reduction in toxic discharge into water medium
