The Renault group Works Council is the only employee representative body spanning the entire Group. It is composed of 34 representatives from 19 countries of Renault’s majority-owned subsidiaries in the European Union, as well as in Brazil, Argentina, Korea, Turkey and Russia). Two additional European deputy secretaries (Slovenia and Romania) have joined the select committee.

The Works Council carries on a wide-reaching dialogue between management and labor at international level. Its members are informed of the Group's strategic ambitions, with reference to economic, financial, social and environmental aspects. The Works Council is consulted systematically in the event of European projects with significant social impact.

In 2007 the Renault group Works Council held one plenary meeting, while the ten-member select committee (of whom five European deputy secretaries excluding France) met on eleven occasions.

In 2007 five collective agreements were signed at Renault s.a.s. They concerned teleworking, wages, the Group Works Council, the make-up of the Renault s.a.s Works Council and profit-sharing.

Illustration of the agreement on teleworking signed on January 22, 2007:

The agreement on teleworking was signed in early 2007 with all trade unions. It enables employees who so wish to work from home, in agreement with their manager. Teleworking functions on the basis of two to four days at home with at least one day on the home site. The company provides the employee with all the equipment necessary. Before teleworking can be put in place, the employee's domestic electrical system and IT access must be approved. A trial period of three months is applied and can be terminated at any time. At end-2007, 99 employees had adopted teleworking and 52 applications were pending. An equal number of men and women are concerned.

The distance from home is a key factor of choice for almost 60% of teleworkers.
