Training focused in particular on industrial relations systems in Europe, trade union and collective bargaining freedoms, and the application of fundamental social rights in supply chains. Effectiveness of measures DV5a The effectiveness of initiatives in place is measured notably by the number of incidents reported by signatory parties to global framework agreements resulting in the implementation of the measures provided for in the 2018 memorandum. No incidents were measured under the memorandum in 2020. A decisive criterion when choosing suppliers and subcontractors Groupe Renault has committed, through its 2013 Global Framework Agreement, to ensuring that respect for fundamental rights is a decisive criterion in the selection of suppliers and subcontractors. If necessary, corrective action plans are implemented with the support of the Group. Any failure not corrected after observation results in measures that may extend to the termination of relations with the company in question (section 2.5.2 and policy accessible on the Renault Responsible Purchasing website). Respect for people Groupe Renault counts respect for privacy and the protection of its employees’ personal data as fundamental human rights. In 2020, the roll-out of the information and training plan continued throughout the Group. The Worldwide Group Works Council, a forum B. for responsible social dialog EFPD4a The Worldwide Group Works Council has 40 members: European Economic Area: 31 members (Germany, Austria and P Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg, Spain, France, Italy, Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Czech Republic, Portugal, Romania, United Kingdom and Ireland, Slovenia and Croatia); other countries: nine members (Argentina, Brazil, South Korea, P India, Morocco, Russia and Turkey). It is the essential forum for social dialog at the international level : its members regularly discuss major changes in the Group and its strategic orientations with the Group’s General Management and operational departments. When an exceptional proposed decision has transnational consequences likely to significantly affect the interests of employees, the Group Works Council meets as a European Works Council. 2020 was marked by the difficulties encountered by Groupe Renault (a proposed €2 billion savings plan resulting in the loss of 15,000 jobs worldwide) and the COVID-19 crisis, which led to the closure of many industrial and commercial sites in March, with furlough measures for those jobs that could not continue on site and the use of telework wherever possible. In this very particular context, maintaining permanent social dialog was essential to provide employees with appropriate support. Although the annual plenary session could not be held, given the health measures and travel restrictions around the world, the Group Works Council Restricted Committee met remotely no fewer than 35 times this year, with major concerns being the health measures to be implemented on site and the monitoring of the implementation of those measures, as well as the monitoring of the Group’s commercial, financial and social situation. Discussions were also held on the feedback of employees surveyed on their experience of telework during the first period of lockdown. More specifically, the proposed plan to save €2 billion by 2022 was the subject of discussions with certain business lines concerned and a dual consultation-information process. The first consultation-information meeting, on June 26, concerned the terms of international social dialog on the implementation of the plan (the Group Works Council Restricted Committee, meeting as a European Works Council, issued a favorable opinion). The second consultation-information meeting, on October 21, focused on the implementation of this plan in the Engineering, Manufacturing & Supply Chain, Finance and Marketing and After-Sales functions. The European Works Council issued an unfavorable opinion on November 10, after a break in the meeting allowing it to consult all of its members. Finally, the Group Works Council was able to discuss, very early on, the General Management’s Renaulution project and the Group’s new organization, which is now focused on four brands (Renault, Dacia, Alpine and New Mobilities), and the gradual implementation of these organizations. "In 2020, all members of the Group Works Council participated fully in building Groupe Renault’s resilience, notably through practical initiatives such as presentations of health protocols at Group level and the sharing of best practices between countries on their application. The Group Works Council also played its full role in social dialog at Group level, with a very strong and unprecedented dynamic: a record number of meetings, remote meetings, whether restricted, extraordinary European or global, with all the members of the Committee, from Argentina to South Korea". Éric Vidal, Secretary of the Worldwide Group Works Council. Ongoing local social dialog EFPD4b EFPD4c C. In France, the agreement signed by the CFDT, CFE-CGC and FO on January 13, 2017 relating to the years 2017, 2018 and 2019, called the "Renault France - CAP 2020 - Agreement for the sustainable performance of Renault in France” ended with positive results. It focused on three areas: customer satisfaction, sustainable performance and motivation of the Company’s women and men and incorporated business and performance commitments. Social dialog at Renault in France in 2020 was structured around two main topics: the follow-up to CAP 2020 and the savings plan; P management of the health crisis. P
