On July 2, Renault, IndustriAll Global Union and the Global Group Council signed an international framework agreement on social, societal and environmental responsibility. Tristan Lormeau is telling Planet Labor about the remits of this negotiation and the group’s expectations with this agreement. (Ref. 130454)
- Why would a company like yours commit to negotiating an international framework agreement?
Tristan Lormeau. In 2004, Renault was a pioneer when it signed with the Fiom*, the group council and Renault’s unions the Declaration on Fundamental Social Rights, which already posed a number of principles. But things have changed since then. First, Renault has grown internationally. For instance, the plant in Tangiers didn’t exist in 2004, and we didn’t operate in India either. Our activity in Russia or in Brazil has greatly expanded. And now we have plans in China and Algeria. All this is new and you can see much more international prospects, being present in 38 countries and selling cars in 130 countries.
