Euronext, a Sustainable Exchange 3 Value Creation by Euronext

3.1 Value Creation by Euronext

The Euronext’s inputs are financial, intellectual, human, social and natural. With those inputs Euronext brings value for its different stakeholders by connecting local economies to global markets, accelerating innovation and sustainable growth and accelerating the transition to a more sustainable economy. Euronext gives companies access to capital through IPO, through increase of capital or through the debt route. It allows investors to get returns either by way of capital appreciation (growth) or timely income (dividends). It facilitates not only domestic investments but also brings in foreign money which is used for further development and growth. It also promotes an environment that encourages collaborative work, learning and innovation for all its employees. In a more long term approach, Euronext has linked its business model with the globally agreed Sustainable Development Goals (“SDG’s”) on which its impact is the most important (see section 3.3 – Transparency and Reporting statement on Sustainable Development Goals).

Euronext is a pan-European exchange group offering a diverse range of products and services and combining transparent and efficient equity, fixed income securities and derivatives markets in Amsterdam, Brussels, Dublin, Lisbon, Oslo and Paris. Euronext’s businesses comprise listing, cash trading, derivatives trading, FX trading, investor services, advanced data services, post-trade and technologies and other corporate services. Further information on Euronext business, competitive environment and strategy are presented in section 1 of this Universal Registration Document. The purpose of every company is to create sustainable value for shareholders and stakeholders. Euronext Value creation model has been developed according to the IIRCC Framework. It shows how the Company uses the resources, capabilities and expertise at its disposal to create value. The model transforms the different capital inputs into value outputs and impacts that over the short, medium and long-term create value for the Company, our stakeholders and the society at large.
