Promoting sustainable mobility and road safety<br />
Along with its broad<br />
commitment to<br />
environmental standards<br />
and human resources,<br />
<strong>Renault</strong> makes a special<br />
point of programs<br />
to improve people's daily<br />
lives in the areas directly<br />
related to its business.<br />
In this, sustainable<br />
mobility and road safety<br />
are main priorities.<br />
Sustainable mobility means fulfilling people's desire<br />
to travel at will, at a reasonable price and in optimum<br />
safety conditions, while at the same time preserving<br />
human, environmental and economic value for the present<br />
and future.<br />
To this end, <strong>Renault</strong> has implemented an action plan<br />
steered by its Transport and Mobility Committee. Some<br />
of the main actions are as follows:<br />
• In <strong>2005</strong> <strong>Renault</strong> released a new navigation system<br />
developed jointly with Nissan dubbed the Carminat<br />
Navigation & Communication System. It features traffic<br />
information and communication functionalities that<br />
enable drivers to optimize routes according to traffic<br />
conditions and thereby reduce congestion and pollutant<br />
and greenhouse gas emissions.<br />
• A transport plan has been introduced at the Plessis-<br />
Robinson site in France where 2,800 employees<br />
work. As a result, 25% of staff used public transport<br />
for their work-home journey in <strong>2005</strong>.<br />
• <strong>Renault</strong> has undertaken a study to better understand<br />
the place of automobiles in the giant urban areas<br />
of China, India and Brazil, and contributed to the World<br />
Business Council for Sustainable Development's<br />
Mobility 2030 project. The latter concerns both<br />
developed and developing countries, and in <strong>2005</strong> led<br />
to the adoption of an action plan on road safety<br />
as part of the Global Road Safety Initiative of which<br />
<strong>Renault</strong> is a member.<br />
Rewarding the scale of resources<br />
committed, <strong>Renault</strong> has the safest<br />
range on the road.<br />
600 <strong>Renault</strong> staff members are dedicated<br />
to improving automobile safety.<br />
