Rabat – Renault Group has pledged to modernize labor relations in support of worker rights by entering new collective agreements covering all its industrial and commercial entities.
The group signed on Wednesday the agreement with the Democratic Confederation of Labour (CDT) for the Soaca factory and Renault Commerce Maroc and the Moroccan Labour Union for the Tangier Plant.
Younes Sekkouri, Morocco’s Minister of Employment, and Ryad Mezzour, Minister of Industry, attended the signing ceremony.
The agreements seek to establish a shared framework with social partners regarding working conditions and social rights for more than 10,000 employees.
Sekkouri described the agreement as part of Morocco’s commitment towards the vital interests of workers.
Mezzour also stressed the importance of such measures, noting the need for Morocco’s automotive sector to focus more on diversification rather than solely on cost competitiveness.
He urged Renault Group Morocco to accelerate its move upmarket, strengthening its capabilities.
Mohamed Bachiri, the Managing Director of the Group in Morocco, said the decision marks a “new decisive step” in structuring the group’s social model.
He said Morocco holds a strategic position in Renault’s global industrial network, with nearly one out of every five vehicles sold internationally being manufactured in the North African kingdom.
Renault has been operating in Morocco since 1928. The company has been leading the market, with more than one in three vehicles sold in Morocco being marketed by the group through its two brands: Renault and Dacia.
Renault Morocco produced over 413,000 vehicles in 2024 alone, exporting 90% of this output to more than 68 countries under the “Made in Morocco” label.
Morocco’s automotive sector is producing over one million cars, with plans to raise capacity to 1.45 million, and eventually two million.
