Renault-Nissan Alliance continues progress in closing the global gender gap
Deauville, France (October 15, 2013): The Renault-Nissan Alliance continues to make progress
Russia and Brazil are among Renault-Nissan’s most successful regions for female recruitment and advancement into management positions. In Russia, Renault’s second-largest market, women account for 19 percent of the workforce and 25 percent of managers. In 2013, 40 percent of all new Renault recruits in Russia were women, up from 35 percent in the previous year.
At Nissan, women account for 17 percent of the workforce in Russia and 27.7 percent of managers, one of the highest ratios within the company.
Brazil is another key growth market, where rapid hiring has helped increase the ranks of women managers at Nissan. Nissan has almost tripled the number of female managers in Brazil in just one year. Women now represent nearly 20 percent of all Nissan Brazil managers. Thanks in part to Brazil’s success, the number of women managers has surged 70 percent in the last five years throughout Nissan’s operations in the Americas.
“Because of the faster pace of growth and demand for talent, emerging markets represent a historic opportunity to close the global gender gap,” said Renault-Nissan Chairman and CEO Carlos Ghosn. “But make no mistake: Closing the gender gap is our objective worldwide, including in our home markets.”
Globally, Renault remains a leader in the industry in terms of women at the senior executive management level. Two out of its 10-member executive committee are women.
