“Innovation to support sustainable mobility and an emphasis on responsible production methods are integral to Renault’s core strategy. In 1995, Renault set up its environmental policy, aimed at reducing the ecological impact of its vehicles at every stage of their life cycle: from conception to manufacture, from use to their eventual recycling at their end-of-life,” a company statement reads.
Renault’s policy on the environment is represented by its Renault eco2 signature, a commitment to launch its first four Z.E. electric vehicles (zero-emission in road use) by the end of 2012.
“The Foundation will work with business and education to inspire people to re-think, re-design and build a sustainable future. Renault’s association with the Foundation will be a true partnership; Renault will contribute its expertise, case studies and employee volunteers, to support the Foundation and Ellen on her new journey.”
A vehicle is given the Renault Eco2 symbol if emits less than 140g/km of CO2 or operates on biofuels (in France), on E85 ethanol or on B30 biodiesel, as well as if it’s 95% recoverable at the end of its lifecycle and it includes at least 5% recycled plastics in its plastic mass. The vehicle also has to be manufactured in a plant that has been certified ISO 14001.
