6 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Internal mobilization and management of our direct impacts

Breakdown of carbon emissions by scope The carbonassessmentestablishedby Natixiscoversa broad scope, includingScope 1,2 and 3 emissions.

Scope 3 was the largest source of emissions,with purchasesof supplies (paper, stationery,furniture, etc.) and services (intellectual services,multiple technicalmaintenanceservices,IT assistance,employeemeals, etc.). Scope 3also includesstaff travel, real estate, computerhardware,freightand waste.

For 2017, the breakdownwas as follows:

Fiscal Year 2017

Scope 1: direct combustion of fossil fuels and refrigerant gas leaks

2,797 3,948

Initiatives have been undertakento addressmaterial sources of carbon emissions in the conduct of Natixis’ business, predominantly through the use of financial products offered to its customers: an assessmentof the environmentalimpact of investment vehicles offeredby Natixiswas performedin certainbusinesslines (see Chapter 6.3.5) .

Carbon emission reduction plans

Business travel: expanded use of public transportation and a “soft” modes of transportation, green company cars, prioritized use of train travel in the Natixis travel policy, development of videoconferencing and establishment of a telecommutingprogramto limit commuting; IT: streamlining of office printers, with the widespread a installationof multi-functionprinters.

Based on calculated carbon emissions,a carbon action plan has been implementedin threemain areas: Buildings: optimized occupationof work space and reduction a of energyconsumption;

2017 Key Event Natixis confirms its commitment to the Paris Climate Action Partnership Agreement In signing the Paris Climate Action Partnership Agreement in 2015, Natixis undertook to reduce the energy consumption and carbon emissions of its buildings in the Greater Paris area by 20% (compared to 2010). A preliminary assessment showed that, on a same-scope basis (i.e. in the buildings located in the Greater Paris area and continuously occupied by Natixis since 2010), energy consumption fell 28% from 2010 to 2016. Scope 1 and 2 emissions

generated by these buildings were also reduced by 25%. The goal now is to maintain this performance until 2020.
