Environmental objectives Objective set Deadline Status as of year-end 2020 New environmental objectives Product Increase the technical and economic value of parts and materials preserved in the automotive sector through the circular economy activities of the Group and its Renault Environment subsidiary between 2016 and 2022, by €100 million, in particular: repair and refurbishment services and second-life use of P electric vehicle batteries use of recycled materials from end-of-life vehicles and P production scraps in the production of new vehicles use of refurbished parts to repair vehicles in the P after-sales phase 2017 2022 +€19.4M (4) Product Increase the Group’s overall consumption of recycled plastic (by weight) by 50% between 2013 and 2022 2016 2022 35.7 kt in 2020, or -17.6% (compared to 2013) Bring the share of recycled materials in the mass of new vehicles produced to 33% by 2030. Manufacturing Reduce by 25% the quantity of non-recycled waste (1) per vehicle produced on the Group’s manufacturing sites (2) between 2013 and 2020, through: a 15% reduction in the quantity of hazardous waste per P vehicle produced between 2013 and 2020 a 30% reduction in the quantity of mixed non-hazardous P waste per vehicle produced between 2013 and 2020 50% “zero landfill” manufacturing sites (3) by 2020 P 2016 2016 2016 2016 2020 2020 2020 2020 -29,2% (compared to 2013) -9.0% (compared to 2013) -28.6% (compared to 2013) 53% Reduce by 30% the quantity of P non-recycled waste (1) per vehicle produced on the Group’s manufacturing sites (2) between 2013 and 2023, through: for manufacturing sites, a 19% P reduction in the amount of hazardous waste produced per vehicle between 2013 and 2023 a 26% reduction in the quantity P of mixed non-hazardous waste per vehicle produced between 2013 and 2023 a waste recycling rate of 87% (5) Waste for which the processing network is designated by European processing codes D or R1 (energy recovery), excluding foundry and construction waste. (1) Excluding AVTOVAZ, which is currently being integrated into the environmental reporting scope. (2) Sites for which less than 1% of waste (excluding foundry and construction waste) is sent to landfill, either directly (as defined by European codes D1, D5, D12) or after (3) stabilization treatment (sludge treated as defined by European code D9). The method used to calculate the indicator is presented in 2.6.1.1.C. (4) Excluding metallic waste, which is already fully recycled. (5) MATERIALS Reducing the consumption of virgin materials is a key objective, both on an ecological and economic level. The extraction and processing of raw materials has negative impacts on ecosystems and reduce their availability for future generations. At the same time, the rising trend observed in raw material prices since the beginning of the century and their volatility affects the profitability of the business. The Group’s ability to factor issues related to the scarcity of resources into its strategy is based on circular economy principles, which include: eco-design standards for both vehicles and batteries, including P frugal use of scarce materials, incorporating recycled materials, preparing vehicles for dismantling and end-of-life recycling, and conducting raw materials criticality analyses (see section 1.5.2.2, paragraph "Risk of failure in supply of raw materials"); projects that aim to develop and implement new technical P solutions and industrial channels for collection, reuse, renovation and recycling of parts and materials, increasing the range of reused or re-manufactured parts on offer, second-life use and recycling of electrical vehicle batteries, and setting up recycling closed loops within the automotive sector; plans to improve the efficiency of industrial processes, in order to P optimize resource use and waste management. Groupe Renault also avoids using mineral resources from conflict zones (see 2.5.2 “Strengthening the responsible purchasing approach in the supply chain”). Supply chain Renovation or remanufacturing Reused parts and renovated parts Scraps Recycled materials (other industries) End-of-life vehicles (ELV) and parts Vehicle production Recyclers Foundries / converters Recycled materials from ELV Vehicle maintenance Dismanting Metals and plastics make up more than 85% of the materials in automobiles. In 2020, approximately 2.8 million metric tons of steel, 275,000 metric tons of cast iron, and 295,000 metric tons of aluminum were used to manufacture vehicles in the Group’s plants (1) and by its parts suppliers. These estimated figures include offcuts of sheet metal and metal shavings generated during supplier parts manufacturing processes and in the Group’s plants. In addition, Groupe Renault used about 340,000 metric tons of plastic materials, including offcuts, in vehicle manufacturing in 2020. Excluding AVTOVAZ which is currently being consolidated into the environmental reporting scope. (1)
