2020 KEY EVENT Biodiversity diagnostic for the garden of the Liberté 2 building

In order to measure the biodiversitygains from the developmentof one of the gardens, Urbanescencecarriedout two biodiversity diagnostics in 2019 and 2020, with a study of the soil’s flora, fauna and macro fauna. The document draws up a non-exhaustivelist of the main species observedon site and formulatesecological issues for each type of space, proposing pro-biodiversitymeasures in garden landscaping (e.g. wild grassland). The garden of the Charenton Liberté 2 building is intended to be bothan ecological corridor and a micro nature reserve.

In Frankfurt, for several years, Natixis has been co-financingan apple orchard of old local species in the Hesse region. This area is a refuge for many animal and plant species, and feeds endangered birds, insects and wild bees. It thus contributes to the preservation of biodiversity in the region. This year, employees were involved in the project by participating in the apple harvest.

Lastly, in 2020, ESR correspondentswere made aware of biodiversity issues through La Fresque de Biodiversité participatory workshops, following conferences organized in 2019 on this theme.

Waste reduction and sorting 6.6.6

Natixis’ waste reduction policy is based on the principle otfhe five Rs: refuse, reduce, reuse, return to the earth, recycle.

Waste reduction and reuse 6.6.6.1 Natixis is taking action to reduce the waste it generates. The Company is committed to a responsible approach called “Let’s go from disposable to sustainable” with the aim of eliminating all single-use items. In 2019, all plastic and disposable cups for water fountains were completely removed from buildings in France and internationally, saving 3.5 million cups per year. In France, the process continued in 2020 with the elimination of plastic water bottles. It should be noted

that the project has already been completed in Portugal where all plastic water bottles have also been eliminated. Reuse and recycling are also part of Natixis’ strategy to reduce its waste. The recycling of furniture and carpets has been implemented in its buildings and its membershipof the Circolab associationsince 2019 has strengthened its commitments to the circular economy in the real estate and construction sector.

2020 KEY EVENT Reuse and recycling of furniture

As part of the Well workingenvironmentreal estate program,which concerns the managementof Natixis’ real estate portfolio, an initiative has been undertaken to reuse and recover unused furniture. In 2020, over 1,000 seats and 700 desks were reused as part of new developments at the Liberté 2 site in Charenton-le-Pont.

Furniture that is not reused internally is entrusted to social and solidarity economy companies for reuse. End-of-life professional furniture is transported to a processing center for energy recoveryor recycling.

Waste sorting 6.6.6.2 Natixis’ waste-sorting activities are conducted as follows: sorting and recycling of paper, plastic (bottles, cups) and metal V (cans). Centralized sorting collection points are installed in offices to replace individual bins and are systematically deployed in new buildings;
