 GOVERNANCE WITH
A SPIRIT OF RESPONSIBILITY
INTERVIEW WITH Since you were appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors
JEAN-DOMINIQUE SENARD
at Groupe Renault, the context in which the company operates has
CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS,
G R O U P E R E N A U LT changed dramatically. What’s your assessment of the situation?

For some months now we’ve been going through a major and wholly unique crisis. Groupe
Renault has been fully committed from day one to maintaining the Group’s business and preparing
for the restart, but there is a considerable challenge ahead as we rebuild.
Beyond this crisis, there are underlying trends that also affect our industry: the environment
in which car makers operate has become much more complex. The mobility industry has to face up
to several simultaneous transformations.
The ways that cars are used are changing, with end customers asking for more flexibility
and intermodality. The competitive landscape is changing as a result, with technology companies
now offering mobility services and solutions.
At the same time, the green transformation and digitization are changing the rules of the
game. Contributing to the energy transition is not only our responsibility, it’s also a public health
issue and something that our customers expect from us, in a world that is increasingly urbanized and
where cities are more and more congested.
2019 was a year of major transition for Groupe Renault and we plan to stay on track. We’ve
taken time out to think and re-focus to meet the challenges of a changing mobility sector. We’ve
steered this transition through some difficult terrain. Economic and regulatory uncertainties,
together with volatile markets, have led us to review our objectives in a measured and responsible
manner. The crisis unleashed by the Covid-19 epidemic has only exacerbated the situation.
Today, the expected growth on which we based our model has not materialized. We therefore
need to rebuild the foundations of our competitiveness and performance.

How is Groupe Renault planning to deal with these challenges?

2020 will be a decisive year for the Group. We will be looking for efficiency everywhere, in
all operations and regions.
The Alliance will be an essential asset to our competitiveness and performance. Our
commitment to the new operating framework with Nissan and Mitsubishi Motors means we can get
the best out of each, for the benefit of all.
We’ve also been working for several months on a savings plan that’s vital for the sustainability
of Groupe Renault. We’re aiming for a €2 billion reduction in our fixed costs within three years.
Our business depends on operational efficiency in the Group: simplification of processes, further
standardization of the components that go into the vehicles and a readjustment of our currently
oversized industrial capacities. We are laying the bases of a sustainable development by organizing
our operations in France around the key strategic activities of the future, such as the electric vehicle,
light commercial vehicles and the circular economy.
To meet the considerable challenges ahead of us, we will be able to rely on a new management
team. On July 1, 2020, Luca de Meo will be joining the Group as CEO, with Clotilde Delbos at his side to
take on the role of Deputy CEO. With the backing of a renewed and strengthened Board of Directors,
they will form a high-quality team with proven abilities equal to Groupe
Renault’s ambitions.
The challenges we face in the future are many, but Groupe Renault
has the assets, know-how and people to tackle them. As you will see in this

the objectives announced in October by relying on the
strengths, know-how and expertise of Groupe Renault.
We launched a new generation of vehicles with the
New Clio and New Captur, which has contributed to
our growth in Europe. Buoyed by our launches, we
have also strengthened our position in Russia with the
Arkana, in Brazil with the Kwid and Sandero, and in
India with the Triber. In the electric vehicle segment,
our sales have risen by some 25% over the year, and
we have just launched the New ZOE. Lastly, we have
achieved a new record for sales of our light utility
vehicles, as have Dacia for the 7th consecutive year.
These achievements are the result of the efforts made
by all of the Groupe Renault teams, for which I am extremely grateful.
Many challenges remain and much is yet to be done. 2019 put us to the test.

In our 2o22 project, we are aiming for a reduction of at least €2 billion in our structural

new impulse given by our Chairman, Jean-Dominique Senard, will play a fundamental
part in the correction of our performance. We must also meet the increasing regulatory
expectations, beginning with CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy). For this, we will
be able to count on our range of electric and electric-capable vehicles with the arrival of
the New Clio E-TECH Hybrid, New Captur E-TECH Plug-in Hybrid, New Megane E-TECH
