In 2019, the bank’s consumption of paper continued to fall, declining 25% relative to 2018. Internal consumption (reams of paper, letterhead) has been falling steadily for several years, thanks to awareness-raising initiatives, the

more widespread use of shared multifunction printers, and the company-wide roll-out of laptop computers, notably as part of the bank’s Easy program.

The 2019 carbon footprint is down due to several factors: A review of the scope: the SFS subsidiaries transferred in 2019 to V BPCE are no longer taken into account in the calculation of Natixis carbon footprint; Changes in calculation methodology : exclusion of IT equipment V already depreciated in accounting; A reduction in energy consumption (see chapter 6.5.2) V A reduction in the impact of travel : taking into account the V teleworking and decrease in business travel by car and plane; A significant reduction in GHG emissions linked to office IT fixed V assets: In addition to the methodological change to exclude IT equipment already depreciated in accounting, there are 3 improvement vectors: the replacement of desktop computers with laptops facilitates V mobility and remote working while reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions; the rationalization of printers has reduced the number of printers V by 33% since 2017;

the roll-out of VoIP internet calling systems and the V decommissioning of over 28,000 physical telephones reduced telecommunications carbon emissions by 69% in 2019. In addition to this measure of Natixis’ direct carbon footprint, initiatives have been undertaken to address material sources of carbon emissions in the conduct of Natixis’ business, predominantly through the use of financial products offered to its clients: an assessment of the environmental impact of investment vehicles offered by Natixis was performed in certain business lines (see Chapter 6.3.2.6) . Carbon emission reduction plans Based on calculated carbon emissions, a carbon action plan has been implemented in three main areas: Buildings: optimized occupation of work space and reduction of V energy consumption (electricity, heating, and cooling); Business travel: expanded use of public transportation and green V means of transportation, green company cars, prioritized use of rail travel in the Natixis travel policy, development of videoconferencing and extension of telecommuting to limit employee travel; IT: managing the impact of digital (see Chapter 6.5.6) .
