Renault has cut direct emissions 50% since 2019 but total absolute emissions rose 17% in 2024, driven by expanded Scope 3 reporting. Major weaknesses: active lobbying against EU CO2 standards, unresolved diesel emissions scandal with regulatory charges, and a 27.5% Scope 3 target that barely moves the needle on 85% of its footprint.
