In 2019, energy consumption fell significantly, notably due to the change in scope (transfer of subsidiaries from the SFS pole to BPCE). Reported at the workplace, we observe a 15% drop in energy consumption between 2018 and 2019. Following on from the commitment made in 2015, Natixis signed a new Paris Climate Action agreement in October 2018 and intends to

contribute to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that are compatible with the city’s Climate Plan. In addition, the bank has set a target to reduce the energy consumption of its buildings in the Paris region by 30% between 2010 and 2020. This target has already been met, with a 40% reduction in consumption per m 2 since 2010.

2019 KEY EVENT Natixis won the CUBE 2020 challenge Natixis took part in the CUBE 2020 challenge organized by the IFPEB (French Institute for Building Efficiency), for the first time in 2018. The building entered into the competition by Natixis is located in the 13 th district of Paris. It has a surface area of 22,402 m 2 , is used by 1,700 employees, and is home to the bank’s trading floors. The competition involved the ESR, Logistics, IT, and Communications Departments and the building’s occupants, with a goal of reducing energy consumption by 10% over the year. This goal was more than met, with energy savings of 20% over one year, earning Natixis two medals — gold for energy savings (buildings > 13,000 m 2 category) and silver for communications.

Some offices produce power, for example the Liberté 2 site in Charenton has a solar ‘carpet’ that powers the building’s water heating system. The heat produced by Natixis’ data centers is used to heat a neighboring aquatics center. Abroad, the Natixis office in Kazakhstan, along with the other 47 residents of the Kulan Business Center building, participated in a pilot project to produce renewable energy on site: the installation of solar panels on the roof of the building parking lot. Consumption of rawmaterials The raw material used the most at Natixis is paper (reams, envelopes, desktop publishing, internal and external printouts, etc.). Practically all paper used by Natixis (99%) is sustainable forest management-certified (FSC certification) (1) . Abroad, Natixis offices in Madrid and New York have been using recycled paper since 2018.

Several international platforms implemented actions to improve the efficiency of their buildings: lighting: use of motion sensors (Frankfurt, Kazakhstan, Milan), V re-lamping with LEDs or energy saving light bulbs (Frankfurt, Istanbul, Kazakhstan, Moscow), automatic switch-off (Madrid, Milan); air conditioning and ventilation systems optimization (Moscow, V Kazakhstan).

Green energy

Since November 2015, Natixis’ buildings have run entirely on green electricity, i.e. from fully renewable sources of energy, pursuant to the terms of its energy supply contract with Engie. This energy source is guaranteed by the supplier and certified AlpEnergie 2015. Since 2019, Natixis’ offices in Germany have been supplied with 100% renewable energy. All its international offices are working towards the same goal.
