Renault Tries to Fix Russian Misadventure

Layoffs, cost saving measures that hit Russian suppliers at Renault's Russian operations OAO Avtovaz, taken by Swedish born CEO Andersson during his 2 years at the company lead to his resignation. The layoffs hurt ordinary Russians in Togliatti, a city 500 miles east of Moscow, leading to social discontent. The slump in the Russian economy following western sanctions led to decline in auto sales, and the situation was precarious. The minority partner Sergei Chemezov owns 25% of the company, is a friend of Mr. Putin, and says Andersson took business away from local suppliers. Carlos Ghosn, CEO of Renault credits Andersson with modernizing the plant and operations at Avtovaz.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
