Fact sheet 1
The three sustainable development goals we consider the most relevant for the business sector are, goal 5,
goal 8 and goal 12. Goal 5 is gender equality; the goal is to achieve gender equality and empower all women
and girls. Goal 8 stands for decent work and economic growth, and it is to promote inclusive and sustainable
economic growth, employment, and decent work for all. Goal 12 is responsible consumption and production,
to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
The three manufacturing industries that have the highest production value in France are, the manufacture of
food products. This involves washing, cutting, and combining ingredients to produce edible products. There is
also the manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers, this concerns the transport of passengers or
freight. The last one is the manufacture of other transport equipment, this includes producing boats and ships,
locomotives, and parts for aircraft and spacecraft.
For the industry manufacture of food products is goal 12 the most important. Because it is about the
production and consumption of, for example food. In France there are numerous possibilities to minimize
waste and promote recycling. The second important SDG is goal 8, because in the world’s economy, food and
agriculture are the main employers for a lot of countries, especially developing countries. Who are the main
traders for a lot of developed countries, like France. The least important SDG is gender equality. In the industry
of food women still form a minority of workforce and leadership. However, this doesn’t form a particular issue
for the food industry. Because in a lot of traditional rural societies, men play the dominant role in agricultural
production and have full responsibility of its harvest and transport, compared to women whom in rural
societies only have responsibility for maintaining the household.
For the industry manufacture of motor vehicles, trailers, and semi-trailers, is sustainable development goal 12,
the most important. This is because it does matter how everything is produced. Many countries and regions
around the world, including France, have implemented programs to improve the environmental performance
of motor vehicles, to keeping an eye on local air quality and climate change. SDG 5 is second, because even
when there are women active in transportation, the lower level of seniority for women relative to men may
present obstacles for women seeking to pursue careers in transport. If this changes, then it eventually will lead
to a more open, diverse, and inclusive workplace. The last SDG is number 8. It is very important to create
inclusive and sustainable economic growth because, the sector increased peoples' access to employment
opportunities and personal independence. The standards of living were also elevated because of it.
The most important sustainable development goal for the industry manufacture of other transport equipment,
is goal 8. Because the road sector is essential to economic development. It also ensures a lot of job creation,
which leads to economic growth. The second most important goal for the manufacture of other transport
equipment, is goal 12. Sustainable consumption and production make sure that green products are being used
on the road, and that slowly fossil fuel subsidies aren’t being used anymore. So that eventually we live in a
more financial and green economy. The least important SDG is goal 5: gender equality. Transport is a
traditionally male- dominated sector, where jobs within the road sector are mainly taking by men. Women are
more attend to take much more skilled jobs than less skilled jobs, such as within the road sector.

Fact Sheet 2
The three sustainable development goals that we considered the most relevant for the business sector in
sprint 1 are, goals 5, 8 and 12. Goal 5 is gender equality with the goal to achieve gender equality and
empower all women and girls. Goal 8 is decent work and economic growth, and it is to promote inclusive and
sustainable economic growth, employment, and decent work for all. Goal 12 is responsible consumption and
production, to ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns.
For the millennials we consider goals 4, 10 and 17 as the most relevant sustainable development goals. Goal 4
is quality education by ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all. Goal 10 is reducing inequality within and among countries. Goal 17 is partnership for the
goals by strengthening the means of implementation and revitalize the Global Partnership for Sustainable
Development.

In the comparing of the businesses and millennials SDG’s there is an overlap that can be seen. Take for
instance goals 5 and 10, both goals value and aim to achieve equality in a system. But on the other hand, there
is also a difference in the way that is aimed for equality and what kind they value. Goal 5 has its focus on
genders being treated fair, more specifically empowering woman and girls to reach that goal of fairness.
Whereas goal 10 has a broader focus of reducing inequality in income, refugees among countries,
discrimination on various human rights and so on.
The highest manufacturing industry in France is the manufacturing of food products. This manufacturing
industry involves washing, cutting, and combining ingredients to produce edible products. The three
companies we have chosen in this industry are Danone, Lu and La Vache qui Rit.
They must create something valuable to receive something that is even more valuable to them, profit. When
manufacturing the products, they need to think of valuing what millennials want. Doing that makes millennials
want to invest in it more because they are prepared to give the extra if that means that they are investing in a
responsible manner.
Goal 8 is what businesses thrive for, economic growth but now so in a way that is sustainable and inclusive.
One of millennials values is goal 17, partnerships for the goals. By partnering up or making use of (local)
companies that are ‘green’ you increase the value of your product. Know where your product is from, how it’s
made and reduce miles it must take to make the product. This way you are helping towards many more goals
and in that way increasing your profit by adding worth to the product in the eyes of millennials. In other
words, they are creating a sustainable product through partnerships and receiving more for it because they are
valuing what is needed for the future. Therefore, the people are prepared to invest in it as it’s being
acknowledged what they want which then adds to the economic growth the businesses thrive for and the
sustainability they must participate in.

Fact sheet 3
Pay equality metric
This is the ratio of the minimum wage and compensation for each employee category by significant
operational sites for priority areas of equality: women to men, minor to major ethnic groups, and other
important equality areas.
The pay equality scores went up and down for all the companies, Air France, L’Oréal, and Renault, over the
years. Air France scores the highest in 2020 with 141. A year later it turned to a score of 1. L’Oréal scores the
highest in 2014 with 171. Last year the score was 5. Renault also scores the highest in 2014, with 148. In 2021,
it was 3. You do see that 2014 was the best year for L’Oréal and Renault and one of the worst years for Air
France.
For Air France the scores Improved indeed. It went downhill in 2018, but they recovered after that and got
back on top. In the most recent years, L'Oréal's ratings did not rise. Their greatest year was 2014, and things
worsened rapidly after that. Renault score was also the best in 2014. A year later, the score nearly dropped to
zero, but they soon rebounded, and in 2018 they had a score of 115, it all collapsed again after that.
Air France did great, if I say so myself, they did great these past few years and I hope they keep that up. L’Oréal
did not do great, it looked like they didn’t even try anymore, after 2014. Renault went through some rough
patches, but it looked like they really tried and that they want to change it.

Pay equality scores per year

2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021
Air France 2 2 2 42 43 18 134 141 1
L'Oréal 53 171 157 100 76 61 54 30 5

Diversity – inclusion metric
This is the percentages of workers in each category of workers, broken down by age, gender, and other
diversity indicators (e.g. ethnicity).
Renault
Renault latest diversity – inclusion report on wikirate is a score of 1 in 2020. Their highest score is a rating of 3
which they had for almost 5 years. In comparison to previous years the scores have decreased. For example, in
2019 the diversity – inclusion disclosure report had a score of 3. In this year about 179565 employees worked
at Renault and 43993 of them were female. In 2018 the score was also 3, where 183002 employees worked at
the company and 44652 were female that is 659 more workers in comparison to the work rate of 2019. In
2017 there was a lesser number of employees namely 181344. However, there was a higher number of female
employees approximately 44973 female workers. The performance on the diversity – inclusion metric overall
stays the same, namely on a score of 3 for most years, what you can say is that the overall rate of employees
decreases, and the rate of female workers increases (Diversity – inclusion, Renault, years, Wikirate)
L’Oréal
L’Oréal’s latest report on diversity – inclusion was in 2020 with a score of 1. Their highest score on diversity
and inclusion was in 2016 with a result of 7. Where around 89300 employees worked at the company, 26799
of them were male while 62532 were female. In 2017 the score decreased to 3, where there was a female
employees' rate of 89331. After 2017, the metric’s score stayed the same namely at 1, because the report
doesn’t show the value of the amount of female or male employees. In 2020 there was an employee rate of
85400. Overall, the rate of employees decreases while the score of the metric stays the same namely at 1
(Diversity – inclusion, L’Oréal, years, Wikirate).
Air France
The latest report of the metric diversity – inclusion of the last company is of Air France in 2018 with a score of
2. Which is a higher result then its previous year with a result of 1. The peak of the metric is a score of 2 which
only had taken place in two years, particularly in 2016 and 2018. In 2018 Air France had an employee’s rate of
84714 where 36932 of the employees were females. Which is higher than the female employee rate of 2016.
Namely, in 2016 the work rate of female employees was 36239. Overall, the score of diversity – inclusion of Air
France changes a lot. What notices is that in the years with a score of 1 no data is reported, which ensures that
its unable to make a comparison with the ratings of the other years. However, with the data of the years 2016
and 2018, we can come to conclusion that the female employees rate increases (Diversity – inclusion, Air
France, years, Wikirate)
Conclusion
In conclusion, the overall scores of the three countries aren’t that high and stay the same. The highest score
for Renault is a score of 3, which was in multiple years. In the years with this score, Renault had a female
employee rate of around 40000. The highest score for L’Oreal was in 2016 with a score of 7, where around
89300 employees worked at the company and which 62532 of them were female employees. The highest
score of Air France is a 2 which was in 2016 and 2018. In these years there was a female employee rate of
around 36000. In addition to these scores and numbers we can say that for the companies Renault and Air
France the female employee rate forms a minority. However, for the company L’Oreal, female employees form
a majority.

Fact sheet 4
The three sustainable development goals that we considered the most relevant for the business sector are
goal 5, gender equality with the goal they want to achieve gender equality and empower all women and
girls. Goal 8 is decent work and economic growth, and it is to promote inclusive and sustainable economic
growth, employment, and decent work for all. Goal 12 is responsible consumption and production, to ensure
sustainable consumption and production patterns.
For the millennials, we consider goals 4, 10, and 17 as the most relevant sustainable development goals. Goal 4
is quality education by ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education and promoting lifelong learning
opportunities for all. Goal 10 is reducing inequality within and among countries. Goal 17 is a partnership for
the goals by strengthening the means of implementation and revitalizing the Global Partnership for
Sustainable Development.
The SDGs that are on the UNEP list and that are also in our top 3 of the group business are SDG 8, decent work
and economic growth, and SDG 12, responsible consumption, and production. Unfortunately, there is no
overlap between the SDGs of the millennials and the UNEP.
We assessed the overlap and differences with the UNEP list, by seeing what the groups found the most
important within the two SDGs.
SDG 8 is important to businesses because economic growth, that is sustained and inclusive can enhance
society, establish quality jobs for all, and elevate the standards of living.  
It is important to UNEP because, when decent work and economic growth is succeeded, it helps SDG (Reduced
Inequalities).
SDG 12 is important to businesses because economic growth is what they thrive for, but now so in a way that
is sustainable and inclusive. It is important to them how the products are produced and consumed.
It is important to UNEP because it also has a lot to do with SDG 2 (Zero Hunger).
It is difficult to measure our ecological footprint, but we think that it is comparable to the Dutch one. In 1878 it
was 6,6 and in 2018 it was 5,5. All I can say is that it is not bad, but it is the worst country, ecological footprint-
wise, in Europe.
The ecological footprint of France has gone down over the last 40 years. In 1978 it was 6,1 and in 2018 it was
4,5. It is not yet perfect, but at least it’s going down.
The world's ecological footprint was 2,8 in 1978 and in 2018, it was 2,8 again. There were some ups and downs
over the years but in the end, it’s the same.
The companies that we chose, in sprint 3, were Air France, L’Oréal, and Renault.
Air France should of course fly less, and with that, they should give different options to travel for the
passengers. They should also investigate greener emissions. Emissions at higher altitudes pose a greater
danger because they trigger a series of chemical reactions and atmospheric effects cover wider areas.
L’Oréal could recycle responsibly; they can maybe reuse the bottles and jars.
For Renault, it is possible to make more electric cars, because not only are they better for the environment,
but you also won’t have to buy gas ever again.
The only Sustainable Development Goals on the UNEP list that would be affected are SDG 12, Responsible
Consumption and Production, and SDG 15, Life on Land.
SDG 12 would be affected by this because if Renault creates more electric cars and L’Oréal improves the way
they can recycle, it will help the way products are consumed and produced. It would affect SDG 15 if Air France
chooses to fly less and if they consider a greener emission. then less co2 is spread, which means that less co2
will be spread and that means that the world will become slightly less polluted. With the making of more
electric cars, Renault would also affect this SDG because the greenhouse gas CO2 is released when fossil fuels
are burned.

Fact sheet 5
L’Oréal
L’Oréal’s top-3 most important stakeholder groups are first non-human, then suppliers and as last the
environmental groups. The scores we came up with when measuring their relevancy were 27 (non-human), 18
(suppliers) and 12 (environmental groups). I would place non-human in the category of definitive stakeholder,
because it has power, legitimacy, and urgency. The suppliers would be in the category of dependent
stakeholder, because it has legitimacy, and urgency. The environmental groups would be placed in the
category of demanding stakeholder, because it only has urgency. We would describe the power, legitimacy,
and urgency of a definitive stakeholder as, that the company needs to act immediately when the stakeholder
says or does something. A dependent stakeholder needs to be monitored closely and be involved in the
decisions. With a demanding stakeholder, they need to be observed and assessed as a risk or opportunity,
when the stakeholder says or does something the company does not require to take immediate action. L’Oréal
could keep a close watch on their stakeholders, to try and keep their stakeholders in line and to know what
they are up to. This way they know what is coming and they can accommodate the claims.
Air France
Air France top-3 most important stakeholder groups are first environmental groups, and then it's customers
and shareholders tied for second place. The scores we came up with when measuring their relevancy were 27
(environmental groups) and 18 (customers and shareholders). I would place the environmental groups in the
category of definitive stakeholder, because it has power, legitimacy, and urgency. The customers would be in
the category of dominant stakeholder, because it has power and legitimacy. The shareholders would be placed
in the category of dependent stakeholder, because it has legitimacy and urgency. We would describe the
power, legitimacy, and urgency of a definitive stakeholder as, that the company needs to act immediately
when the stakeholder says or does something. A dominant and dependent stakeholder needs to be monitored
closely and be involved in the decisions. Air France could keep a close watch on their stakeholders, to try and
keep their stakeholders in line and to know what they are up to. This way they know what is coming and they
can accommodate the claims.
Renault
Renault top-3 most important stakeholder groups are first environmental groups, as second comes the
shareholders and as last the suppliers. The scores we came up with when measuring their relevancy is 27
(environmental groups), 18 (shareholders) and 12 (suppliers).
I would place environmental groups in the category of definitive stakeholder, because it has power, legitimacy,
and urgency. The shareholders would be in the category of dangerous stakeholder, because it has power, and
urgency. The suppliers would be placed in the category of dormant stakeholder, because it only has power. We
would describe the power, legitimacy, and urgency of a definitive stakeholder as, that the company needs to
act immediately when the stakeholder says or does something. A dangerous stakeholder needs to be
monitored closely and be involved in the decisions. With a dormant stakeholder, they need to be observed and
assessed as a risk or opportunity, when the stakeholder says or does something the company does not require
to take immediate action. Renault could keep a close watch on their stakeholders, to try and keep their
stakeholders in line and to know what they are up to. This way they know what is coming and they can
accommodate the claims.
