Groupe Renault - 2020 Universal Registration Document

165 GROUPE RENAULT I UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 2020 02 OUR ENVIRONMENTAL COMMITMENT GROUPE RENAULT GROUPE RENAULT: A COMPANY THAT ACTS RESPONSIBLY CORPORATE GOVERNANCE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS RENAULT AND ITS SHAREHOLDERS ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF RENAULT ON APRIL 23, 2021 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION convergence toward the best organizational and technical P practices identified. Ventilation and operating conditions (temperature and humidity) have been optimized in paint shops, the most energy-hungry areas in vehicle body assembly plants. Equipment downtime and restart has also been optimized to minimize consumption. Specific actions are also applied to other production processes, such as the detection and handling of compressed air leaks or the optimization of the cooling of the welding guns used in sheet metal work; increase the energy efficiency of processes, particularly by P experimenting energy recovery solutions such as installing heat exchangers at exit doors of paint drying ovens and decentralizing energy consumption to limit heat losses on the network; optimizing the compactness of sites, a project launched in 2020 P that will reduce energy consumption for heating and lighting in buildings; develop renewable energies and substitutes for fossil energies, P such as the introduction of biomass boilers in Tangiers (Morocco), Curitiba (Brazil) et Moscow (Russia), the use of electricity from renewable sources on the Curitiba (100% of supplies in 2020) and Tangiers sites (see “Eco-design of industrial processes” under section 2.2.2.B), the use of steam generated by the burning of industrial waste at the Sandouville (France) and Busan (South Korea) plants, and the 86 hectares of solar panels installed in the Group’s French, Spanish and Korean plants (see inset below) in partnership with third-party investors. 86 hectares of solar panels on the Group’s sites The solar panels installed on Renault sites throughout the world (in France, Spain and South Korea) cover a total surface area of 86ha, or the equivalent of nearly 120 soccer fields. In 2020, the 94 MW of fully renewable electricity that they generate enabled the prevention of nearly 30,000 metric tons of CO 2 emissions. Energy management is a major economic challenge for Groupe Renault, with a global annual energy bill of more than €300 million. That is why it is being managed by a dedicated corporate team, via a network of energy managers deployed across all Group sites, according to an organization based on the principles of ISO 50001 (although Renault has not chosen to undertake a global certification procedure in respect of this standard, only the sites of Bursa and Cléon currently being certified) outlined in the diagram below. ENERGY MANAGEMENT WITHIN GROUPE RENAULT ■ Monthly review of objectives ■ Three times a year review of energy-saving initiatives Energy planning Internal audit Monitoring, measuring and analysis Implementation and operation Checking Internal energy performance target Performance targets set for each site At Group level: ■ Energy managers’ ‘’clubs’’ ■ Sharing of best practices, recommendations, etc. At site level: ■ Eco-energy workshops and brainstorming sessions Monthly monitoring: ■ Energy performance ■ Economic performance (costs and savings) ■ Implementation of best practices Management review ■ ‘’Energy ef fi ciency’’ audits and visits ■ Technical support to sites ■ Complementary studies Cases of non compliance, corrective actions and preventive measures Energy policy Continuous improvement ENERGY CONSUMPTION (1) 2018 2020 2019 2013 2008 ... ... 0 1,000,000 2,000,000 4,000,000 3,000 , 000 5,000,000 6,000,000 7,000,000 0.0 0.5 1.0 1.5 2.0 2.5 MWh/vehicle MWh Total consumption (MWh) Consumption per vehicle produced (MWh / vehicle)* 2.19 2.05 1.75 1.77 2.04 Given the high number of engines and gearboxes manufactured for * partners, for the calculation of the MWh/veh ratio, powertrain plant consumption is adjusted pro rata to the total number of vehicles manufactured by the Group. However, no adjustment is applied to overall consumption presented in MWh in the chart. Scope: the reporting scope (described in Appendix 2.6.1.2) includes all manufacturing sites and the main logistical, tertiary, and engineering (1) facilities of Groupe Renault, excluding the RRG Commercial Network, which is subject to the specific reporting presented in 2.6.1.4.
