Policies
Voluntary initiatives
Natixis has committed itself to the following voluntary standards:Investment policies
On its website Natixis states: 'aware of its social and environmental responsibility, Natixis has a sustainable development policy aiming at reducing its impact on the environment and being part of corporate social progress and open to civil society. This policy concerns both our businesses and our day-to-day behavior, with a growing commitment of Natixis' employees.' This policy is not publicly available on its website though.
In March 2009, as part of the responsible management of its activities and their consequences, Natixis adopted a policy to exclude all financing and investment in companies involved in the manufacturing, storage and trade of land mines and cluster bombs. This policy applies to the financing of these companies, to proprietary investment, to third-party asset management by Natixis Asset Management, which has also launched a customer awareness approach.

Issues
Natixis and the Equator Principles
The Equator Principles are a voluntary commitment of banks to try to avoid or minimise the social, environmental and human rights impact of projects they finance. For more information on the Equator Principles see their website here and the campaign page of BankTrack here.
The Equator Principles exist already since 2003. Natixis adopted the Equator Principles in 2010.
Reporting on the Equator Principles
Natixis must report annually on its implementation of the Equator Principles. All information is supposed to be found here.
- Natixis is in compliance with its reporting obligations. The 2016 report can be found here.

Good moves

2015
Climate breakthrough as string of banks dump coal financing
In May, Bank of America and Crédit Agricole became the first major banks to announce plans to stop financing coal mining. These announcements marked a hugely significant win and a breakthrough moment in the fight to end financing for the coal industry. The second half of 2015, in the run-up to the make-or-break UN climate change conference in Paris, then saw important coal finance restrictions being announced by institutions including Citi, Natixis, Goldman Sachs, Société Générale, BNP Paribas, ING and RBS. All these moves are captured here – significantly, a number of banks have chosen not just to get out of coal mining, but are also extending into ending their support for coal power.
