THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OVERSEES 
CLIMATE STRATEGY AND RELATED RISKS 
AND OPPORTUNITIES 1/2

The key mission of the Board of Directors is to define strategies that integrate social and environmental considerations and to ensure their effective implementation. Each year, the Board of Directors examines issues related to climate change and validates
Renault Group’s strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, its electrification strategy and the impact of new greenhouse gas emissions and pollution regulations.

To explore environmental issues in depth and reinforce their governance, in 2019 the Board of Directors set up a specialized committee focusing on a range of topics, including ethics and corporate social responsibility issues: the Ethics and CSR Committee. Independent directors account for 66.7% of the committee’s members, in line with the recommendations of the AFEP-MEDEF Code. On March 31, 2021, the committee was made up of five members designated by the Board of Directors. The BOD appoints the committee’s Chair from among the independent directors, upon recommendation by the Governance and Compensation Committee.
