Carbon footprint (tco 2 eq/fte)

footprint per FTE by 20% between 2019 and 2024. This ambition is based on a target of a 40% reduction in energy consumption, a 30% reduction in air travel and a 10% reduction in the impact of digital technology. This policy is broken down into seven themes: sustainable real estate, responsible digital technology, the promotion of sustainable mobility, resource management (energy and paper), responsible purchasing, waste management and revegetation. We thus have in France 11 certified buildings (HQE Labels (1) , BBC (2) , HPE (3) or BREEAM (4) ) representing an area of 101,662 m 2 . Internationally , Natixis also has numerous offices with environmental certifications, both in terms of construction and operation. The Natixis head office building in New York benefits from the LEED gold level environmental label, and has improved its Energy Star score from 69 to 76. In Madrid, Natixis occupies a BREEAM certified building. Natixis Frankfurt moved into a building with LEED Gold certification in August 2021 (5) . A process was initiated by Natixis’ offices in Porto to obtain BREEAM certification. Natixis offices in Dubai obtained Gold level LEED & WELL certificates (6) . In addition, these offices are located in a LEED Platinum certified building. Finally, in Hong Kong, the occupied building has been recognized for its environmental performance with numerous certifications: LEED Platinum for its construction and LEED Gold and WELL Gold for its operation.

In line with its policy of recognizingESR in its business lines, for over 10 years, Natixis has actively reduced its direct impact on the environment related to its internal operations. These impacts are very significant given the Company’s 17,000 employees and its numerous locations in France and internationally. Reducing our direct impact on the environment is one of the levers of the next Natixis strategic plan for the protection of biodiversity and the fight against climate change, with the aim of reducingour carbon

Sustainable Real estate 7.4.1

The Natixis Workplace Department, as manager of the Company’s buildings, oversees the implementation and monitoring of environmental certifications, the reduction of energy consumption and the energy supply of buildings, as well as their accessibility. Natixis and its subsidiaries in France (with the exception of Financial investments and affiliates – see scopes Chapter [7.8] ) represent 216,665 m 2 of operatingpremises (comparedto 242,494 m 2 in 2020) and 14,177 workstations (compared to 16,162 in 2020). The real estate master plan contributes to the rationalization of the real estate portfolio and reduces our environmental impact. This rationalization is made possible by the implementation of the Flex Office and by the deployment of remote working for almost all employees.
