Euronext, a Sustainable Exchange

ESG Dashboard 2020

The Amsterdam building is also occupied by 31 tenants whereby the utility costs are shared between the parties in the building. A connection was made between the two separate main cooling water systems. This connection results in a higher reliability factor of the systems and a huge energy saving at the same time. These installations are used for all datacom rooms and most of the cooling systems in the Amsterdam building. A major roof renovation is underway: Renewal of the transparent Lexan roof panels above the monumental Trading Floor roof, these Lexan panels have a higher insulation value and it works in both ways (in winter it keeps the heat in and the cold outside, in summer it is just the other way around). Brussels Euronext Brussels moved its offices in May 2015. The Marquis building, where Euronext Brussels now has its premises, has BREEAM certification (sustainable building design and construction). Euronext accounts for 2.67% of overall gas, electricity and water consumption of the Marquis building (fixed percentage). This means the figures don’t represent the actual consumption of Euronext Brussels but just a prorata of the total consumption of the building. In the Brussels building, improvements were made to the heating system. By replacing the old existing boiler with a condensing boiler, gas consumption reductions will be achieved going forward, and with the installation of a free cooling system, the building will be able to be cooled without having to activate the refrigerator machines. Additionally, all lights were replaced by the latest generation LED. Porto and Lisbon Euronext concluded in 2017 the transfer of IT operations located in Belfast to Porto, to the same premises as Interbolsa, Euronext’s Portuguese Central Securities Depositary (“CSD”).

In 2020, the entire energy backup system was upgraded. This included the change for new UPS machines that guarantee 97% energy efficiency and the investment in a new emergency generator reducing the volume of gases emitted to the atmosphere and noise levels. In Porto and Lisbon offices, the removal of collective trash bins in the open space is expected to drastically reduce the number of trash bags used. In Lisbon, additionally, all lights were replaced by the latest generation LED. Dublin The Euronext Dublin office was redeveloped in 2019, allowing all Euronext staff to work in one central campus, combining the original Irish Stock Exchange Building with the Armoury of Bank of Ireland. In addition to increasing the capacity to host local forums and events, the new building preserves all of the heritage, history and tradition of the original Irish Stock Exchange (conserving the original trading floor and Georgian architecture) whilst adding a new dimension with a modern way of working and new technology. The building has been designed to achieve “Leed Gold” status which means it will be among the most sustainable buildings in Ireland and will have sustainable practices such as reusing water for planting and irrigation. Space for more than 35 bikes as well as six showers to encourage team members to commute in a sustainable way has been added and everything that was taken out of the ground during construction has be en either reused in the building’s construction, or recycled. Consumption of Electricity, water, gas and oil The 2020 results (compared to 2019, 2018 and 2017) of consumption of gas, water, electricity, and oil are described in the following charts. In general, there has been a decrease in water and energy consumption in all Euronext countries. The Covid crisis which forced a large part of the employees to work from home for long months in 2020 is undoubtedly no stranger to this situation.
