and purchasing functions. The sales, marketing and communications functions
are being structured to meet new challenges along with the commitments
in Renault Commitment 2009. A marketing launch group to coordinate the
roll-out of environment-related products and services has been set up,
as has an Environment Intercom unit to coordinate corporate and product
communication.
3.2.3.1 ENVIRONMENTAL ORGANIZATION
The focal areas of Renault’s environment policy, included since 2002 in the
broader commitment to sustainable development, are debated and decided by the
Group Executive Committee. The Strategic Environmental Planning Department
is implementing this policy in the different sectors of the company.
The Vice President, Strategic Environmental Planning, reports directly to the
Executive Vice President, Plan, Product Planning and Programs. This organization
involves direct reporting to the Group Executive Committee and highlights the
cross-cutting importance of the environment.
The Strategic Environmental Planning Department has nine members responsible
for setting strategic targets, implementing environmental policy in different
sectors, consolidating problems and managing communications.
< TABLE OF CONTENTS >
It is supported by a network organized to incorporate environmental protection in
all the environment-related functions. In 2007, more than 420 “network heads”
and around 2,000 managers coordinated environmental knowledge. Expertise
in several areas (energy, water, fuel, recycling, air quality) was identifi ed and
expanded with the aim of supporting the environment network. Renault’s policy
places the emphasis on shared collective guidelines for all sectors of activity.
Authority for implementing and managing environmental policy for the Group
as a whole and responsibility for operational management, which is shared
between all the environment directors and every function, lies with the Executive
Vice President, Plan, Product Planning and Programs.
The Vice President, Strategic Environmental Planning presents the company’s
strategy and action plan to the Group Executive Committee so that decisions
are taken at the highest level.
This organization has been rounded out with a new steering committee for CO 2
and biofuel initiatives in Renault Commitment 2009. Made up of managers
from the departments involved, this committee will see that the plan is carried
out and that efforts are properly directed to achieve the quantifi able objectives.
It will do this through a cross-functional network of multidisciplinary groups that
will hunt for ways to make even small reductions in CO 2 emissions, that will
adapt vehicles to run on biodiesel B30 and ethanol E85, and that will guarantee
the sales commitments.
