In 2018, Natixis renewed its Paris Action Climat partnership in which it undertakes to contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are compatible with the city’s Climate Plan Natixis has identified 10 SDGs to which it already makes a material contribution through its business activities or in its own operations. In addition, the bank has set a target to reduce the energy consumption of its buildings in the Paris region by 30% between 2010 and 2020.

Reducing energy consumption from transportation

groupwide (one of the levers of the AgiR responsible procurement policy) to ensure that all economic and environmental criteria are taken into account (especially CO 2 emissions) when selecting company cars; as a result, part of the company car fleet has been gradually replaced with greener vehicles; facilities provided to limit travel: conference rooms have been ● fitted with videoconferencing and teleconferencing equipment; a precise, complete annual measurement of emissions generated ● by business travel for the purpose of monitoring trends by category. Several initiatives have also been carried out in the regions: implementation of carpooling and ride-sharing programs and/or ● optimized use of the company car fleet; provision of telecommuting options, cutting CO 2 emissions ● generated by the daily commute; eco-driving courses for employees recording the highest mileage ● for work during the year; provision of electric bicycles and cars for employees at their ● workplace, with charging stations;

Based on the carbon reviews conducted by the Group, business travel and commuting are one of the highest sources of total estimated CO 2 emissions (averaging nearly one-third of total emissions each year). The Group has defined action plans aimed at limiting and reducing emissions generated by business travel and commuting, such as: creating and distributing a mobility plan kit for all Group ● institutions, serving as a toolbox to help them prepare a mobility plan (templates for surveys, action plans, etc.). In addition to this guide, two hotline sessions were organized for the HR, logistics and CSR functions; a strict travel policy explained in a best practices guide on ● business travel. This guide suggests alternatives for travel by train rather than airplane for trips within France, emphasizing the financial savings as well as the lower carbon emissions to allow the companies to adjust their travel policy; a comprehensive listing of electric cars in BPCE Procurement’s ● global range for the Group; furthermore, the Group is also furthering its efforts to apply the total cost of ownership approach
