2017 Key Event Awareness campaign on ICT energy consumption

In the modern digital era, the business world simply cannot function without information and communication technologies (ICTs). They are used to hold remote meetings, send documents, do research, and so much more. It is estimated that, altogether, digital technologies are responsible for 10% of the world's electricity consumption. In honor of sustainable development Week, Natixis encouraged its employees to be frugal and expedient in their everyday use of ICTs: e-mail and document management, online research, etc.

2017 carbonemissionswere up significantlycomparedto previousyears. This result can be attributed to an increase in headcount (12,560 FTEs in 2017 versus 12,300 in 2016), but also in the number of businesstrips (primarilyby air), fixed assets(IT equipment)and the amountof purchases. At the same time, however, a decrease in carbon emissions was recorded as a result of reduced energy consumption in Natixis buildingsin 2017, despitethe increasein headcountand m 2 taken into consideration(298,697 m 2 in 2017 versus291,555 m 2 in 2016).
