Carbon footprint management 7.4.7

Every year,Natixis measures the carbon footprint for Natixis France. Since 2021, in order to better take into account the new uses related to remote working, Natixis France’s carbon footprint includes monitors subsidized by the Company and the additional energy costfsor days worked remotely, linked to theoretical consumption ahtome.

As health measures related to the COVID-19 health crisis had a strong impact on the carbon footprint, it is difficult to carry out a comparative analysis compared to the year 2019. The carbon footprint per FTE remained stable between 2020 and 2021, with the following variations observed: a slight increase in the energy item due to the increase in V consumption (see Chapter [7.4.4.1]) and taking into account the energy consumption of remote working employees; a resumption of daily and business travel (see Chapter [7.4.3]) ; V an increase in fixed assets given the adoption of a new V methodology for IT fixed assets: in a "life cycle" approach, all equipment in the portfolio is recognized, even if it is depreciated in the accounts, and the equipment of subsidized employees' remote working is also taken into account; a decrease in purchases linked in particular to the review of V emission factors in the Groupe BPCE impact calculation tool. In addition, since 2019, on a French and international scope, Natixis Investment Managers and its distribution platforms have measured its carbon footprint related to its direct impacts every year, using the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG) method. It should be noted that this carbon footprint does not assess the impact of Natixis’ business lines. However, an assessment of the climate impact and the temperature trajectory of the financing and investment vehicles offered by Natixis was carried out in certain business lines (see Chapter [7.2.2]) .

Carbon emission reduction plans Based on calculated carbon emissions, a carbon action plan has been implemented in three main areas: buildings: the rationalization of its real estate portfolio V implementedas part of the real estate master plan reduces energy consumption (electricity, heating and cooling); travel: for commuting,Natixis promotes the use of public transport V and active mobility, the widespread use of remote working supported by the use of robust and adapted digital tools. For business travel, priority to the train is defined in the traveplolicy; IT: managing the impact of digital technology through a V responsible digital policy and actions. Moreover, knowing that agriculture is responsible for 25% of greenhouse gases worldwide, Natixis is also committed to the food issue. Every day, a vegetariandish is already offered to employeeson the menu of the Company restaurant. To go further, Natixis and BPCE S.A. have included ambitious ESR criteria in order to continue to reduce the carbon footprint of meals (local products) as part of the calls for tenders for the corporate catering of the Tours DUO in Paris, from organic farming, in season, etc.). Natixis Porto conducted a series of workshops to raise awareness of healthier and more environmentally friendly food. Around a hundred employees received boxes containing everything they needed to cook a complete vegan meal. The meals were organic, from local producers, and without plastic packaging.
