2020 NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPORT Managing our direct environmental impact

Management of resources 6.6.4 The WorkplaceDepartmentmanagingNatixis’ Real Estate ensures optimumresourcemanagementby closelymanaging the various resources used: energy (electricity, heating and cooling utilities), water and paper. Each building it manages has a budget for energy consumption,which is monitored on a monthly basis.

Energy: less and better 6.6.4.1

Reduction of energy consumption Natixis has optimized the energy consumption of its buildings for several years with the roll-out of various measures: a re-lamping policy with the use of LED light bulbs; V installation of motion sensor lighting systems in common areas; V automatic switching off of lights and air conditioning; V optimization of heating and cooling systems that give greater V consideration to temperatures outside the building. Combining these measures with efforts to raise employee commitment via an “eco-gestures” guide, challenges and conferences has steadily reduced energy consumption in Natixis buildings since 2010, per workstation and per m 2 of rented surface. In addition, Natixis offers a bonus to each of its employees if the energy consumption reduction target is collectively achieved.

The specific situation related to COVID-19 in 2020 directly impacted the energy consumption of buildings: an increase in consumption: the legal obligation to constantly V renew the air in air-conditioned buildings leads to the permanent operation of air renewal systems that were previously only triggered on an ad hoc basis. In addition, the continuous injection of outdoor air requires that the heating or air conditioningsystems be operated to regulate the temperatures; a reduction in consumption: as employees have benefited greatly V from remote working, the real estate portfolio has been rationalized (closure of certain buildings, adapted configuration of the remaining buildings), resulting in a reduction in the energy consumption of Natixis buildings. It should be noted that this decrease is qualified by the transfer of energy consumption to the homes of employees, which Natixis is unable to assess.

Scope: Natixis France – excluding data centers.

International platforms have also taken actions to improve the energy efficiency of their buildings by: lighting with the use of motion sensors in Frankfurt, Kazakhstan V and Milan, relamping in favor of LEDs or energy-saving light bulbs in Frankfurt, Istanbul, Kazakhstan and Moscow, automatic switching off of lights in Madrid and Milan; the optimization of air conditioning and air renewal systems in V Moscow and Kazakhstan. With the widespread implementationof remote working linked to the COVID-19 pandemic, 300,000 kWh were saved in building 1251 in New York. This represents the equivalent of two months of consumption based on 2019 energy consumption.

In 2020, energy consumption fell by 12% year-on-year. Reported to the workstation or m 2 of usable leasable area, we observed a further 13% decrease in energy consumption between 2019 and 2020. However, this decrease should be qualified by the COVID-19 health crisis. In 2015 Natixis signed a Paris Climate Action partnership with the City of Paris and participates in achieving the sustainable development objectives of the Paris Climate Plan. This commitment was renewed in 2018 with a target of a 30% reduction in the energy consumption of its buildings in the Paris region between 2010 and 2020. Between 2010 and 2019, Natixis had already exceeded this target with a 40% reduction in energy consumption per m 2 . If we include 2020, where the drop in consumption was accentuated by the specific context of the COVID-19 health crisis, this decrease reaches 47% between 2010 and 2020.
