The trends observed in 2020 are as follows: lower energy consumption (see section 6.6.2) ; V a reduction in the impact of travel: taking into account the remote V working and decrease in business travel by car and plane; a significant reduction in purchases. V Carbon emission reduction plans Based on calculated carbon emissions, a carbon action plan has been implemented in three main areas: buildings: the introductionof the Flex Office and the rise in remote V working will allow Natixis to rationalize its real estate portfolio in order to reduce, among other things, energy consumption (electricity, heating and cooling);
