The Natixis Code of Conduct The Code of Conduct was approved by the Natixis Senior Management Committee and by the Board of Directors. It applies to all individuals employed on a permanent or temporary basis at Natixis, or in an entity at least 50% owned by Natixis, 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 of Conduct has two main sections. First, it sets out Natixis’ commitments (client interests take precedence, ethics, responsibility towards society, protecting the reputation of Natixis and Groupe BPCE). The second section describes the rules of conduct that must guide each member of staff in their actions and decisions.
