In 2020, Carbone 4 calculated again Euronext’s carbon footprint Climate change will have a material impact on the global and regional economy in which Euronext is a key player. While these changes will have economic and social consequences, the preliminary assessment conducted with Carbone 4 has concluded that Euronext’s carbon footprint is relatively low and the exposure to climate change related risks are limited. Euronext believes that environmental challenges including climate change are relevant and will become increasingly so and has therefore included ESG as a strategic pillar in its strategic plan “Let’s Grow Together” as well as seeking to embed ESG within each of its strategic pillars. In line with its strategic plan Euronext will seek to further reduce its carbon emissions notably by analysing the environmental impact of its third party providers, and its technology usage by trying to promote IT solutions that reduce consumption of natural resources, for example the use of communication tools rather than international travel, reduced the footprint of physical platforms to virtual environments and reduction of hardware consumption.

The high number of Alerts over March are primarily related to the high market activity due to the Covid-19 situation. The difference between 2019 and 2020 may also be explained by the creation of new type of alerts.
