RENAULT SAYS: On November 20, at the first global ministerial conference on road safety hosted by Moscow, Renault and a number of other manufacturers from the automotive industry who are also members of the GRSI, decided to pursue their shared commitment to road safety for another five years.
"By renewing our commitment to the Global Road Safety Initiative, Renault is continuing to work side by side with developing countries and regions as they strive to increase sustainable mobility while drawing on the experience of high income countries to lessen the negative impacts of transport" says Claire Martin, Renault Corporate Social Responsibility Vice President.
Set up in 2004 by seven leading groups from the automotive and oil industries including Renault, the Global Road Safety Initiative (GRSI) finances and encourages initiatives to promote road safety, in China, Brazil and the ASEAN region. This is because emerging countries frequently have insufficient levels of road safety. This is a stumbling block to their development and – more particularly – to the development of sustainable mobility.
The GRSI is part of the Global Road Safety Partnership (GRSP) set up by the World Bank in 1999, which brings together the private sector, civil society and the governmental agencies concerned by road safety in countries that are emerging or in transition. Renault is vice-president of the national GRSP associations in Romania and Poland and is a member in Hungary.
For Renault, committing to road safety worldwide is a natural step that reflects its core values. More than fifty years ago, Renault was one of the first manufacturers to address the active and passive safety of its vehicles right from the design stage. The results of this safety-aware approach can be seen today in the excellence of the Renault range, with 12 vehicles obtaining a five-star rating in EuroNCAP tests. Renault also believes that education is key to preventing road risk. Eleven million children and teenagers in 20 countries have been able to follow the educational programme “Safety for All”.
