Natixis’ commitment to the Principles for a Responsible Banking Sector 6.4.1.2 (PRB)

Following on from the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) established in 2006 and the Principles for Sustainable Insurance (PSI) announced in 2012, the PRB are a global initiative launched by the banking industry in 2018. These were developed by a group of 30 founding banks, including Natixis, brought together by the Finance Initiative of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP FI), and now include 214 banks. The PRB set out what it means to be a responsiblebank and provide the first global framework for incorporating sustainability in all banking activities, be it in terms of strategy, financing, market and advisory activities or their direct impact. Signatory banks will publicly acknowledgetheir positive and negative social, environmental and economic impacts. The banks agreed to set public targets to address their main negative impacts and to step up their positive impacts in order to contribute to the sustainable development Goals (SDGs) and align with the Paris Agreement on climate change. Natixis actively participates in several working groups within the UNEP FI, in particular to co-construct impact measurement tools, whether at the level of the portfolio or the corporate clients. Natixis is committed to measuring the impact of its activities on all of the SDGs in 2021.

As part of its commitment to the PRB, Natixis also joined the United Nations Collective Commitment to Climate Action , which sets out concrete and time-bound actions that banks will take to support the energy transition. Accordingly, Natixis undertook to: align its portfolios to reflect and finance the low carbon, V climate-resilient economy required to limit global warming to well-below 2°C, striving for 1.5°C; take concrete action, within a year of joining, and use its products, V services and client relationships to facilitate the economic transition required to achieve climate neutrality; be publicly accountable for its climate impact and progress on V these commitments. The implementationof the GreenWeightingFactor (GWF) will enable Natixis to meet these targets [see section 6.4.2.1 GWF:an innovative solution for a greener loan book].
