The Renault Foundation is committed to the communication between cultures by focusing on the young managers of the future.
Why Renault in a multicultural project?
Renault is a group committed to globalization.
With a desire to be a part of the economic process of countries where it has a strong presence, Renault has become a significant player in the local development of resources while respecting national cultures.
Renault encourages exchanges to contribute to mutual improvement by exploring other cultures.
Under the authority of its President Carlos Ghosn, who also acts as President of the Foundation, the Group is part of a rich globalization of its diversity. This affluence is at the center of Renault’s vitality and creativity. These values are also part of the Renault Foundation.
