Renault has cut Scope 1&2 emissions 50% since 2019 and signed major renewable PPAs, but total emissions rose 17% in 2024 due to expanded Scope 3 reporting. The company faces active regulatory charges for diesel fraud and actively lobbies against EU CO₂ targets—a fundamental misalignment with its stated climate goals.
