Boulogne-Billancourt, 5 September 2023 – Renault Group announces the implementation of its employee share ownership plan Renaulution Shareplan for the second consecutive year. This offer is open in 29 countries and will involve nearly 98,000 employees in the creation and sharing of value.
Renault Group has increased the contributions offered under the 2023 plan by 30% to benefit eligible employees from the success of the implementation of the stages of the Revolution.

“By continuing the implementation of one of the most ambitious employee share ownership plans, all sectors considered, we are strengthening the unity of the Group.
