In termsof buildingaccessibilityspecifically,the departmentaims to go beyond regulatory requirements to facilitate access to disabled persons to Natixis buildings: Installation of meeting and training rooms accessible to a persons with different disabilities (employeesor visitors with reducedmobilityor who are visuallyor hearingimpaired); “Just bip” assistance system: available in buildings marked a with a color sticker at the entrance, staff and/or visitors can use this serviceto notify the building’ssecuritystationof their presenceand requestassistancevia their smartphone; Signageand reservedspots in parkinglots and garages. a

The main technical managers in the Real Estate and Logistics Department have also received training in Groupe BPCE’s regulatory and environmental charter, which specifies the regulatory and environmental obligations to be observed for each type of outfitting and renovation operation. This charter also containsstandardsrelatingto environmentalcertifications. Managing resource consumption 6.4.1.2 and combating global warming The Real Estate and Logistics Department ensures optimum resource management by closely managing the various resourcesused: energy(electricity,heatingand coolingutilities), water and paper. Each 14001-certifiedbuilding has a budget for its energyconsumption,which is monitoredon a monthlybasis. Natixis has optimized the energy consumptionof its buildings for severalyearswith the roll-outof variousmeasures: a re-lampingpolicywith the use of LED light bulbs; a installationof motionsensor lightingsystems; a heatingand coolingsystemsthat give greaterconsiderationto a temperaturesoutsidethe building. Combining these measures with efforts to raise employee awareness of “eco-gestures” has been steadily reducing energyconsumptionin Natixisbuildingssince 2010.
