Renault Group believes that employees should benefit directly from the company’s performance. Two years ago, it launched its first employee share ownership plan. Following the success of the Renaulution Shareplan in 2022 and 2023, Renault Group is repeating this initiative in 2024, with the aim of enabling nearly 98,000 employees to become company shareholders on preferential terms. The plan reflects the Group’s ambition of increasing employee-held equity to 10% by 2030, and strengthening employee commitment to the company’s performance and ambitions.
“The new 2024 Renaulution Shareplan is an extremely important initiative in my eyes. Our employee share ownership plan is one of the most advanced seen in any sector of industry. Renault Group’s commitment to this plan over the past two years is in keeping with its self-image as a company innovating in all areas, maintaining its tradition as a social laboratory, but anchored in the present day! And with the ambition of placing 10% of equity in the hands of the people building our performance, day after day.” Luca de Meo, CEO Renault Group

Like its predecessors, this third plan of the Renaulution Shareplan is open to employees of Renault Group and most of its subsidiaries in 30 countries, subject to any local authorisations required: Argentina, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, China, Colombia, Croatia, Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Malta, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine and the United Kingdom.

In 24 of these countries, Renault Group employees have the option to purchase shares on preferential terms, with a 30% discount on the reference price and a further matching gross contribution equivalent to seven free shares for the first three shares purchased.
In compliance with regulations, the investment made by each employee is limited to 25% of their estimated annual gross remuneration for 2024.
