Groupe Renault - 2020 Universal Registration Document

239 GROUPE RENAULT I UNIVERSAL REGISTRATION DOCUMENT 2020 02 APPENDICES 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 Methodological comments on the 2.6.1.2 table “Site environmental indicators in 2020” Reporting for the environmental indicators was conducted in accordance with the stipulations of the 2019 Environmental Protocol for Renault Sites. The following is an explanation of the main methodological choices of the Protocol. This Protocol is available on request from Environment department of the Group’s HSE division. Scope The scope of the reported data covers the industrial subsidiaries (body assembly, final assembly, powertrain and foundry) and the support sites (product and process design, logistics) in the Groupe Renault financial scope of consolidation. AVTOVAZ’s reporting is currently under construction and in 2020 covers: for the Izhevsk site, all indicators except recycled waste; P for the Togliatti site, all indicators except those related to P wastewater discharges, recycled waste and VOC emissions excluding the main paint line. The scope covered by the priority indicators represents between 85% and 89% of the vehicles produced by the Group in 2020. N.B. The Renault Sport site in Viry-Châtillon, which produces engines exclusively for competition vehicles (Formula 1) is excluded from the environmental reporting scope. Impacts of suppliers or third parties present on site are not included, with the exception of the sites listed under the “Site environmental indicators in 2020” table. All impacts arising from employee catering facilities, CSR activities and social partner activities are included in the data for the Renault sites. The data for sites included in the scope of reporting in year Y are presented for information and are consolidated with those of other sites only from year Y+1. Data from Gaïa is taken into account at sites where Gaïa operates, except the Choisy-le-Roy and Flins sites (France), where Gaïa waste is recorded separately. The drinking water production and Davidesti waste storage activity at the Pitesti site (Dacia) were removed from the reporting scope. The data is shown for information purposes. Procedures for controlling and consolidating data Experts from the Group Health, Safety, Environment and Ergonomics department check the consistency of data at each site. These checks include a comparison with data from previous years and an analysis of the impact of events occurring on site during the year. The environmental data presented in the Universal registration document have also been subjected to external verification by the independent third party, KPMG. Their conclusions are set out in the report in section 2.6.5. Water consumption Water consumption is expressed in thousands of cubic meters (m 3 ). Measured volumes include water obtained by pumping (underground and surface water) and/or external networks (drinking water, industrial water). Collected rainwater (Giheung, Guyancourt, Flins, Maubeuge and Medellin) is also included. Liquid discharges Data on pollutant flows are based on measurements of effluents after they have been treated in the Group’s plants and before they are discharged to the outside. Discharges from some plants may subsequently be treated in municipal treatment plants (see plant codes). Under the Reporting Protocol, the frequency of discharge analysis must comply with the regulations applicable to the Renault sites. The quantity of SS represents the flow of suspended solids discharged, expressed in metric tons per year. The quantity of COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) represents the flow of organic pollutants discharged. This quantity is expressed in metric tons per year. The toxic metals quantity represents the sum of the flow of toxic metals discharged, weighted by a toxicity coefficient. This quantity, expressed in metric tons per year, is calculated as follows: Toxic metals = 5 flows (Ni+Cu) +10 flows (Pb+As) +1 flow (Cr+Zn) +50 flows (Hg+Cd). The data presented only take into account the discharges relating to metals, Suspended Solids (SS) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), for which concentration and flow must be measured by law, and the discharges from the plants in Bursa (Turkey), Curitiba (Brazil), Moscow (Russia), Santa Isabel de Cordoba (Argentina) and Casablanca (Morocco), for which voluntary controls are taken into account in light of the significant contribution of these discharges to the Group’s impacts. For sites that are not subject to a regulatory requirement to measure pollutant flows or to consolidated voluntary controls at the Group level, the reported value is noted as “NC”. Black water discharges, for which there is no regulatory measurement and/or reporting obligation, are not included in the water discharges. This concerns 37% of manufacturing sites (one of which is covered in a partial statement) and 69% of engineering, logistics and support sites. The Moscow, Santa Isabel de Cordoba, Curitiba, Casablanca (SOMACA) and Batilly (Sovab) sites are subject to specific regulatory requirements, and receive an exemption on the calculation methodology of the specific flows. Air emissions The atmospheric emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) included in the data are the emissions produced when bodywork is painted (body assembly plants). The application of paint on bumpers and on parts and accessories is not taken into account. The indicator shown corresponds to the metric tons of VOC emissions and the ratio of VOC emissions per square meters of painted vehicle surface. The consolidated ratio for the Group corresponds to the total VOC emissions generated by the body assembly plants divided by the total of the painted surfaces.
