NATIXIS’ CODE OF CONDUCT

Present in almost 40 countries, Natixis, together with all the companies it comprises, operates in a diverse range of businesses. It owes its growth to the trust it has instilled in its clients, teams, shareholders, regulators and in society as a whole. In the interest of preserving and enhancing this asset, Natixis has decided to establish its Code of Conduct to affirm and formalize its commitment to act in accordance with the highest professional ethics, to put clients’ interests first and to act responsibly towards society. It is the result of the collective efforts by all the Natixis business lines and support functions, and was approved by the Senior Management Committee and the Board of Directors.

The Code of Conduct applies to all individuals employed on a permanent or temporary basis at Natixis, or in an entity in which Natixis holds a stake of at least 50%, whether in France or abroad. Suppliers and contractors are also required to comply with the rules applicable to each Natixis entity, in accordance with the principles of the Code of Conduct. The Code comprises two key sections. The first defines the commitments making up Natixis’ “DNA”: to add value to its clients, staff, shareholders and society as a whole. The second section presents all the guidelines, detailed below, to help staff in their actions and decisions:
