THE GREEN WEIGHTING FACTOR, our innovative tool at the service of ecological evolution

Natixis becomes the first bank to actively manage its balance sheet’s climate impact by means of its Green Weighting Factor . This new capital allocation tool classes each financial activity in terms of its impact on the climate with a grading from “brown” to “green”. A gradual system of bonus-malus is assigned to the most “green” financial activity (up to 50%) and to the most “brown” financial activity (up to 24%).

This approach in aid of the transition towards a low-carbon economy is carried out together with all of our clients in order to better support them in their sustainable investment strategy.

The Green Weighting Factor is a replicable tool that could be adopted by other banks committed to transitioning their portfolios          

We are fully committed to offering our clients from all over the world uniquely tailored, innovative solutions, and to supporting them in their own transition towards a more sustainable and durable economic model.
