Natixis and its subsidiaries in France thus encourage their employees to limit their printing thanks to an individual bonus (additional profit-sharing) linked to a collective objective of reducing paper consumption.And since the end of 2019, a tool for measuring printing footprint was made available to all its employees, in France and internationally. Each employee can thus monitor the number of pages they print and are aware of the carbon impact caused by the use of ink, paper and printers related to their printing.

In France, paper consumption has practically been divided by four, with a decrease of more than 70% between 2019 and 2021. Internationally the trends are identical. For example, Natixis Dubai reduced its printing by more than 30% in 2021, Natixis Porto by 60% in 2021 and by 88% compared to 2019. In France, this decrease in internal paper consumption has been a trend observed for several years, following the introduction of multifunction card printers, the deployment of laptops, and the widespread use of the remote working and awareness actions with employees. Water: decreasing consumption 7.4.4.3 In addition to the responsible management of energy and paper resources, an initiative has been initiated to reduce the water consumption of buildings. For example, water pressure reducers collectors. have been installed in all sanitary facilities in Porto. In addition, the two vegetable gardens in Porto and Charenton have been designed

to use as little water as possible thanks to the use of innovative water-saving tank systems, the installation of oyas and rainwater
