This year, Renault demonstrated its resilience and strength in the face of obstacles. I am especially proud to have joined this group at a defining moment in its history.

A defining moment, because the automotive world is currently undergoing radical changes, and it must reinvent mobility and the resulting services in a disrupted competitive environment. For Renault, these challenges represent opportunities to use its know-how in the spirit of conquest and innovation that has driven it for over 120 years.

It is also defining because Renault is writing a new page in its history. To begin this new era, we have made trust the center of our model. First, the governance of the Group has been renewed with a requirement for gender balance and diversity of skills and profiles, all supported by a strong ethical foundation.

We then wanted to give the Alliance a new start. Its structure and organization have been rethought to ensure a balance of power and promote dialogue and fluidity. Today, a stronger, more effective Alliance can face the challenges ahead. For Groupe Renault, this new structure is the guarantee of shared trust within the company and with our investors and all our partners. It is also the key to consolidating the Group’s success, within the strategic objectives of the Drive the Future plan and beyond. I am convinced that the Group is now endowed with every strength it needs to grow profitably and with respect for people.
