2020 NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPORT Managing our direct environmental impact

2020 KEY EVENTS My Green Footprint

Natixis enables each employee to track their individual paper consumption and CO2 equivalent via the My Green Footprint tool. This calculation is based on a global approach in life cycle analysis including the paper itself, but also the impact of the ink and the printer. This indicator will be enhanced in thceoming years. PAP50 – Green response awards Natixis participates in the Green response barometer, dedicated to the 50 largest French banks and insurance companies, which assesses and compares the environmental impact of their paper policy. In 2020, Natixis won two categories: “Annual CO2 emissions/GHG emissions” and “Annual consumption/Institutional, promotional and desktop documents” .

Responsible purchasing 6.6.4.3

The responsiblepurchasingpolicy is a strategicand operational lever for the implementation of the BPCE and Natixis ESR policy. The main objective of the policy is to promote more eco-friendly products and services that provide guarantees and added value at the social and societal levels. Broader objectives are also pursued through this policy: assessing Natixis’ suppliers using social and environmental V responsibility criteria related to their products, services ionrdustries; promoting official environmental certifications and eco-designed V products; encouraging suppliers to be more transparent in describing the V environmental characteristics of their products. This policy is based on a number of tools, including a responsible purchasing framework, specifying the criteria applicable by category of products and services.

It should be noted that in 2020 these criteria were reviewed in the context of IT equipment and furniture purchases, with increased requirements on the carbon impact of products over their entire life cycle. In 2020, the CommunicationsDepartment also reviewed its catalog of goodies to have a smaller and more responsible offering, based on the criteria of usefulness, origin, composition and product certification. Lastly, Natixis works in collaboration with its service providers to improve the ESR impact. Thus, in 2020, Natixis reviewed the conditionsof cleaning services in the Paris region offices. Cleaning will now be carried out during the day, rather than early in the morning or late at night, in order to improve the quality of life at work for service providers’ employees, to strengthen the visibility of the service (contact with Natixis employees, cleaning service) and to reduce on-site energy consumption (heating and electricity).

Developing green spaces 6.6.5

Consistent with the Objective 100 hectares Charter signed with the City of Paris in 2017 Natixis is committed to: developing urban farming and landscaping projects as part of the V operation of its buildings; promoting eco-friendly green spaces in built-up areas, contributing V to biodiversity and water management in Paris by banning the use of pesticides and saving water; sharing its knowledge of the subject with other partner companies, V employees and project stakeholders. Three shared kitchen gardens in Natixis buildings in Paris, Porto and Charenton-le-Pontnow allow its employees to get together to garden and to learn about urban agriculture and biodiversity. These

productive green spaces were designed according to a circular and sustainable approach (using some of the bio-waste from the Company canteen for compost, organic planting, exclusion of phytosanitary products, garden furniture from reuse, etc.). Open houses and the distribution of harvests made it possible to raise the awareness of employees working at the buildings in question. In addition to these gardens, Natixis symbolically produces its own honey thanks to six beehives installed on the roofs of its buildings, including two beehives introduced in 2020 and which produced 23kg of honey in the first year. The beehives help to raise employee awareness of biodiversityloss issues and the issue of pollination.
