The humanitarian action of Renault Retail Group

In 2007, the fund set up by Renault Retail Group provided support for many associations. In particular, it contributed to: 

• emergency aid (a centre for street children in Mopti (Mali) in liaison with Planète Urgence and the Fondation Abbé Pierre;

• health aid (continuous supply of pharmaceutical products for the dispensary set up by Renault Retail Group in Senegal);

• initiatives to combat serious disease (assistance in setting up a centre for sufferers of Parkinson's);

• education and training (Aide et Action, Enfants de l'Ovale with Philippe Sella);
  fair trade (micro-projects in Africa and India).
  

• Humanitarian missions: REAGROUP funds a humanitarian mission for a staff member who uses his/her skills to train local people in Africa with Planète Urgence. Since 2004, REAGROUP has funded 10 employees to run training programs in Mali (8 in mechanics and 2 in office skills).

As a result of these initiatives, Renault Retail Group was shortlisted for the Best HR Initiatives of 2007, a challenge organized by Le Figaro newspaper, L'Express magazine and Hudson.
