Socially responsible investment 6.4.1.3 The affiliates of Natixis Investment Managers offer a range of solutions built on the conviction that ESG criteria can play an important role in identifying potential risks, seizing opportunitiesand generating returns for investors. Different levels of ESG criteria are available in the investment strategies applied by fund managers: responsible investment (1) : inclusion of ESG criteria in research, V without these criteria having a systematic impact on decision-makingand investment strategies, and implementationof an active shareholding policy; sustainable investment (2) : the investment strategy is based on V ESG issues, aiming to align values, financial outperformance or societal impact through investment (e.g. exclusions, best-in-class or best-in-universe strategies, ESG themed investment);

impact investing : strategy that addresses societal challenges, V such as those defined by the United Nations sustainable development Goals. Two other classifications, which can be found in the aforementioned categories, allow to further detail these strategies: ESG themed investment: strategy focused exclusively on ESG V themes; Certification: funds certified by recognized third parties (the French V SRI label, Greenfin, Finansol, Febelfin, LuxFlag ESG, Nordic Swan EcoLabel, FNG Siegel). NIM supports affiliates in the deployment of their ESG approach and has allocated seed capital to strategies incorporatingESG issues as a priority. Currently, around a third of seed money is invested in ESG strategies. NIM also launched in 2020 a working group focused on ESG integration, co-led by Ostrum AM, allowing affiliates to share best practices.
