2020 KEY EVENT Fundraising to fight COVID-19

In France, a fundraising campaignwas launched over a three-monthperiod, with a matching contribution from the Company, and nearly €100,000 were raised for the following three organizations: Tous unis contre le virus (alliance between the Fondation de France, AP-HP and Institut Pasteur), Samu social de Paris and Action Against Hunger. In addition to this fundraising, Natixis Wealth Management and VEGA Investment Managers also made a financial donation to the Samu social de Paris.

Some Natixis entities have enabled employeespersonally involved in local associations to obtain financial support from their respective departments. Natixis Investment Managers and Mirova (an Asset Management company affiliated to Natixis Investment Managers) made donations to around fifty non-profit organizations on the recommendation of their employees. Other entities, such as Natixis in Dubai and Natixis Assurances, have also created challenges using mobile applications and have contributed to increasing the amount of donations made by each entity to the selected associations.

In addition, new commitments have been made over the long term, as is the case with OstrumAM (Natixis InvestmentManagers)which has decided to support the AP-HP Foundation for three years, in order to provide concrete support for its medical research projects. Lastly, some teams provided material support to local hospital staff, through simple solidarity actions, such as in Dubai and Porto where food baskets were distributed to hospital staff and patients.

Natixis Foundation In 2020, Natixis Foundation – corporate foundation was created. Its aim is to facilitate the commitment of all Natixis employees to a fair transition.
