The Renault-Nissan Alliance continues to make progress in closing the
gender gap, and in the past year the organization has particularly
accelerated recruitment and advancement of women in key growth
markets.

Russia and Brazil are among Renault-Nissan's most successful regions
for female recruitment and advancement into management positions. In
Russia, Renault's third-largest market, women account for 19% of the
workforce and 25% of managers. In 2013, 40% of all new Renault
recruits in Russia were women, up from 35% in the previous year.

At Nissan, women account for 15% of the workforce in Russia and 27.7%
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% of all Nissan Brazil managers. Thanks
in part to Brazil's success, the number of women managers has surged
70% 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 ten-member
executive committee are women. Renault now has similar representation
of women at all levels of the company. Women comprise 17.4% of
Renault's global headcount, 17% of managerial positions and 16% of
Renault's key 150 executive positions globally.
