INTERVIEWWITH NATIXIS’ CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

“The priority is to create value for all our stakeholders: our customers, our emplo yees and our investors”

To meet the challenges ahead, we can rely on Natixis′ three key values: the constant search for a lasting impact, by providing our clients with differentiating expertise; the entrepreneurial spirit that we cultivate on a daily basis; finally, collective intelligence, in order to take full advantage of the company's multiple talents, working actively to succeed together as a team with openness and confidence. the creation of value for all our stakeholders: our customers, our employees and our investors. In the first place, our customers are at the heart of our attention; for them, let us use our expertise, all our know-how, our commitment and our agility! Next, we must support our employees, whom I would like to thank in particular for their commitment. Finally, we also demand results from our investors, to whom we must propose a sustainable growth trajectory. A final message? For me, the priority remains

What are your strategic priorities and Natixis strengths in the face of future challenges? Since my arrival at the helm of Natixis last August, my mandate has been clear: develop and sustainably grow each of Natixis' four business lines: Wealth & Asset Management, Corporate & Investment Banking, Insurance and Payments. Since my appointment, I have endeavored to address certain urgent issues and, in November 2020, we have taken and announced structuring decisions to put our company on a sustainable path of growth and development. These decisions concern our business lines, in particular Corporate & Investment Banking and Asset Management, but also our functions with better control of our costs and risks. We have started to implement these decisions. By the summer of 2021, in close consultation with Groupe BPCE, we will also specify our strategic roadmap for our four business lines by 2024.

What can you learn from it? We have accelerated our transformations. We have adapted our team operations within the company with the development of a “hybrid” model combining on-site presence and remote working. We have also redesigned and intensified our exchanges with our clients, always striving to add value to our advice and services. Despite the distance, we made sure to recreate proximity with our customers and, in the face of economic uncertainty, we supported them so that they could continue their activity and continue to undertake new projects. This situation, which was urgently experienced within Natixis at the beginning of the year, gave rise to in-depth discussions within our company to define what we must permanently change in our working methods. Beyond that, we remain committed to meeting the major challenges of the environmental transition and technological transformation.
