Empower Sustainable Finance

Value Creation by Euronext

LONG TERM VALUE FOR ALL OUR STAKEHOLDERS Euronext ESG mission and ambition The world is facing significant challenges in ensuring a sustainable future for our people and our planet. Many national and international initiatives are addressing these challenges. Every organisation will have to play its particular role in the transition to a sustainable society, depending on its impact and its opportunities. The finance sector can be an important contributor to the global sustainability agenda and can promote sustainable finance, by incorporating environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors into investment decision-making, and by supporting the allocation of capital to sustainable initiatives. In 2021, Euronext has identified its purpose and redefined its ambition. With a special position in the financial ecosystem, it connects European economies to global capital markets, to accelerate innovation and sustainable growth with the ambition to build the leading market infrastructure in Europe and the purpose to shape capital markets for future generations: n our Ambition: Build the leading market infrastructure in Europe; n our Purpose: Shape capital markets for future generations; n our Mission: Connect European economies to global capital markets, to accelerate innovation and sustainable growth. Over the past three years, under the “Let’s Grow Together 2022” strategic plan, Euronext has built the leading pan-European market infrastructure. The new strategic plan “Growth for Impact 2024” is built on Euronext’s strong focus on ESG and the priority to empower sustainable finance through an ambitious climate commitment for Euronext that aims to make a tangible impact on its partners and clients, with the launch of the Fit for 1.5° climate commitment, and also through an enhanced inclusive people strategy.

Euronext follows its mission by: n driving investment in innovative, sustainable products and services through secure and transparent markets, in continuous collaboration with the financial community; n inspiring and promoting sustainable tangible practices within the Company and towards our communities, by respecting and developing our people and by supporting our ecosystem. Stakeholder expectations and materiality analysis As a first step towards the creation of a Euronext ESG strategy, in 2018-2019, Euronext launched a pan-European stakeholder consultation process to identify the ESG related issues that its stakeholders believe should be its main areas of attention and effort. Euronext received feedback through workshops and interviews from a wide selection of its stakeholders, especially investors, analysts and issuers, but also employees and regulators, providing valuable insights. On the basis of those results Euronext performed a materiality analysis, defining the key issues where Euronext can have the most impact on the economy, society and environment, and that most influence the decision-making of its stakeholders. Euronext’s stakeholders recognise that Euronext plays a role in ESG from various angles: Euronext as a representative of the capital market ecosystem, Euronext as a business providing relevant products and as a corporate actor. In each of these roles, Euronext has different responsibilities. Based on the feedback received from the stakeholders Euronext has identified eleven key issues, that were grouped into 5 material impact areas, consistent with the Euronext dual ESG ambition.
