2020 NON-FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE REPORT Employee engagement

International solidarity In all its international offices, Natixis establishes partnerships with general-interest associations and mobilizes employees support for solidarity-based projects. In 2020, the health crisis had a major impact on the organization of many actions, but other forms of initiativeshave been launched to continue to support charitieswhose role has proved more important than ever. In the EMEA region : The Milan branch organized a donation campaign as part of the partnershipwith a food bank and DynamoCamp (a charity that helps disabled children), for which members of staff can normally volunteer to support. In Madrid , Natixis has strengthened its partnership with the non-profit organization Caritas to support a solidarity-based supermarket, Tres Olivos, which helps disadvantagedfamilies (basic goods are subsidized to cost 80% less than usual market prices). The supermarket benefits from regular payroll donations from about thirty Natixis employees in Madrid whose contributionsare matched by the company, and a fundraisingcampaignwas also organized for the fight against COVID-19. Many charities are supported in London , including Future Frontiers and SOS Villages d’Enfants, which provide funds and daily support to families living in poverty. During the lockdown periods, employees have been fully engaged in online actions to support the SCT associationand to participate in initiatives such as a “virtual” walk in Lapland, draws, games and even online challenges. In Porto , a multitude of actions to mobilize all employees have been organized in recent years. During the health crisis and periods of lockdown, the teams have provided support to hospitals and caregivers through donationsof masks, distributionof food hampers and a virtual solidarity race. Donations of computer equipment and financial donations were made to the association Bagos D'Ouro,

enabling schoolchildren and students to continue their learning remotely. During the Christmas season, employees also showed support for the Casa da Criança association, notably by purchasing or donating toys for underprivileged families. The partnerships with associations in the Americas set up several years ago continued and new COVID-19 support programs were set up: In New York, employees took part in a clothing drive for America’s Vietnam veterans and the branch organized several fundraising events to support the New York Cares association, the Robin Hood Relief Fund, and the NYC COVID-19 Emergency Relief Fund. As part of the annual "Natixis Employees Giving Campaign", Natixis also supports its employees’ initiatives by organizing two weeks of fundraising for various charities supported by Natixis Investment Managers and its affiliates. Lastly, Natixis is continuing to expand its contributions to charitable causes in the Asia-Pacific region , despite having to amend its program for 2020: As the 2020 edition of “Hong Kong Volunteering Month” could not take place, two fundraisingcampaignswere organizedby employees to support the charities through financial donations. The continuityof the partnershipwith the associationPour un Sourire d’Enfant (PSE) has materializedwith the mentoringof students by a dozen committedemployees,a donation campaign for Chinese New Year and a collection of items such as clothing, books and toys in December.
