Whistleblowing mechanism On 1 December 2020, a reminder of the Euronext Whistleblower Policy was sent to all staff. In addition, theWhistleblower policy was brought to the attention of staff with an article in the weekly What’s New email of Internal Communications on 20 November 2020. The KPI is related to the number of reported cases in 2020. As in 2019, Euronext received no alert in 2020. Volunteering Euronext’s employees contribute to volunteering initiatives in all its European locations. As of 2020, Euronext’s community initiatives focus on two key areas where Euronext can contribute and have particular impact: Financial Literacy and the Blue Economy (oceans, seas and marine resources). In 2020, Euronext entered into a new partnership with Junior Achievement in Europe to inspire students about sustainable finance whilst helping them develop core job skills such as teamwork, problem solving, presentation, and entrepreneurial skills. By partnering with JA Europe, Euronext intends to emphasise how the financial sector can contribute to the promotion of financial literacy and the blue economy, which encourages better stewardship of our ocean or “blue” resources, among students aged 16 to 19. More than 35 Euronext employees (5 or more employees from 7 Euronext countries) will support the students as mentors. The objective is to inspire students about sustainable finance whilst helping them develop core job skills such as teamwork, problem solving, presentation, and entrepreneurial skills. Starting in January 2021, selected students in seven Euronext countries will be engaged in a competition that involves a series of activities aiming to expose them to financial literacy and blue economy fundamentals and culminating in a final competition at European level on 8 June 2021, the United Nations World Oceans Day. The opportunities will include thematic e-mentoring provided by Euronext volunteers on financial literacy and topics related to blue economy. Moreover, students will be invited to attend two webinars, one on financial literacy and one on blue economy, coorganised by Euronext and JA Europe.

The Covid-19 pandemic impacted the type and level of community activities that it was possible to implement during 2020. During the early phase of the pandemic, when there was a critical lack of personal protective equipment, Euronext distributed a total of 16,000 masks to several hospitals in Europe. Also, for the two- month period from April to May, 10 employees volunteered with different organisations across Europe as Euronext employees were encouraged to volunteer with full pay one day per week with selected NGOs and service organisations offering critical services during the health crisis. Restrictions in all Euronext locations due to the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in adapted and modified activities in 2020 related to Financial Literacy and the Blue Economy. A number of Financial Literacy initiatives for students and retail investors were changed from physical to virtual events. In observance of the International Coastal Clean-up Day in September, Euronext organised beach, river and canal cleaning events in eight cities, while respecting local restrictions due to the pandemic. Initiatives related to Financial Literacy and the Blue Economy that were organised locally include the following: n in Amsterdam: Euronext Amsterdam normally hosts a large number of financial literacy and education tours about the role of the exchange and the functioning of capital markets. Due to Covid-19 restrictions in 2020, the number of tours and participants was reduced compared to previous years. In total, 118 groups representing 2,124 people took part in the tours in 2020 Euronext also gave a presentation on the role of the stock exchange to 50 students from the Rotterdam Erasmus University. 22 employees from Euronext Amsterdam participated in canal cleaning events for the 2020 International Coastal Clean-up Day; n in Brussels: Employees from Euronext Brussels contributed to several financial education events and webinars, including courses on financial markets at the Faculty of Economical Sciences at University of Ghent and at the Sorbonne (Paris), a course at the Faculty of Law of University of Antwerp and a webinar with EcoDa on the dialogue between boards and shareholders.
