Diversity, inclusion, and belonging
We continually work to create an environment that promotes diversity, inclusion, and belonging in all its forms, across gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity and background.

Diversity, inclusion, and belonging

Diversity of talent, thought, and perspective leads to better outcomes for our clients, employees, and communities.

Our commitment to diversity, inclusion, and belonging

At Natixis Investment Managers, we are actively committed to building a diverse and inclusive workforce where everyone feels a sense of belonging. As a global asset manager with more than 15 independent investment affiliates, we place diverse thinking at the heart of everything we do.

We continually work to create an environment that promotes diversity, belonging, and inclusion in all its forms, across gender, race, religion, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, and background. We believe this creates equal opportunities for our employees – and better outcomes for our clients and communities.

Culture

The Natixis culture is rooted in openness to new ideas, hard work, and creative problem solving. We believe our most valuable asset is our employees – the people who drive us forward as a firm through their expertise, dedication, and unique perspectives. In this spirit, we continually invest in our people in order to enrich their lives both in and out of the office.

We offer our employees a fulfilling and rewarding work environment. We invite our employees to enjoy events while providing work-from-home flexibility and a competitive benefits package.

We support our company's mission to help people live better lives by developing an engaged, high-performing workforce. We believe learning and development are continual. Every employee is expected to participate in at least one learning program every six months as a commitment to their continuous learning.

Programs

Natixis Global Scholarship Program

This global program helps us develop a pipeline of diverse candidates across regions and provides hands-on experience within the financial services industry.

Natixis Global Scholarship Program

Bottom Line

Bottom Line, Natixis' Global Scholarship Program, helps more than 3,000 first-generation students from low-income communities get into college, graduate, and establish themselves in mobilizing careers. Four students who are engaged in the program receive a Natixis scholarship to help them pursue a degree and/or career in business or a related field. This is a $5,000 renewable commitment for up to four years. Similar programs are implemented in the UK and Paris through partnerships with local organizations.

At Natixis, we create internships that introduce students at the high school and college levels to career opportunities in the finance industry. We’re committed to developing a pipeline of talent for our industry for the long term.

Partnerships with the Academy of the Pacific Rim (APR) in Boston and the Life Learning Academy (LLA) in San Francisco are an expansion of our long-standing commitment to the communities where we operate.

In addition to the firm’s financial contributions, Natixis associates organize skills-based volunteering opportunities to teach APR students financial literacy. They also work to develop “career exploration” videos designed to introduce LLA pupils to different roles within financial services.

We believe that exposing under-represented students, with a focus on racial and ethnic minorities, to the numerous career trajectories available within financial services can help expand diversity in future candidate pools.

In the Natixis Investment Managers Graduate Challenge, 12 teams of students, selected from over 45 submissions, compete to manage simulated investment portfolios over the course of three months.

 

As part of the program, the teams are mentored by our asset management experts from Natixis Investment Managers Solutions, Harris Associates, Loomis Sayles, Dorval AM, DNCA Finance, Mirova, Ossiam, Ostrum AM, Seeyond AM, Thematics AM and Vega IM.

 

The teams are evaluated on how effectively they managed their virtual portfolios according to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles and strict investment guidelines, as well as their capacity to articulate and present their investment approach and decisions.

Employee Resource Groups

Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are voluntary, employee-led groups whose aim is to foster a diverse and inclusive workplace aligned with the organizations they serve. ERGs give a voice to under-represented people within an organization, while creating a safe space to discuss experiences, giving employees an opportunity to be heard, valued, and engaged.

Policies and statements

Natixis Investment Managers is committed to supporting and creating an inclusive culture that fosters belonging. Our business is about people, and we strive to ensure the well-being of our employees and to create an environment responsive to different cultures and groups in all our interactions with employees, clients, visitors, suppliers, contractors, shareholders and investors and in the communities in which we operate. We value diversity; we believe it to be important to business success and integral to achieving our strategic objectives.

Natixis Investment Managers recognizes the potential that all people bring to the workplace.

Employees have the right to be treated with respect and dignity throughout their employment with Natixis Investment Managers and not to be discriminated against in any way. We have a zero-tolerance policy regarding bullying, harassment, victimization and racism of any kind.

We seek to achieve higher standards than the minimum set out in legislation, and we will proactively encourage a culture that supports diversity and equal opportunity.

  • To actively support and promote diversity, inclusion, and belonging, and to ensure that all our employees are valued and treated with dignity and respect.
  • To strive continually to provide employees with a working environment that is free from all forms of discrimination.
  • To ensure that managers work in partnership with employees to create and sustain an inclusive working environment where everyone’s unique contribution is valued.
  • To ensure that decisions affecting employment, training, promotion and career development are based on an individual’s ability and genuine occupational requirements.
  • To comply with relevant legislation by requiring all employees to meet the minimum standards of behavior and conduct in relation to how they treat their colleagues and other people they have contact with as part of their work with Natixis Investment Managers.
  • To regularly review the policy and its practical application and continue to make any updates toward identifying and eliminating any potentially discriminatory practices.
  • To provide employees and managers with the appropriate information, via this policy, on diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and to provide diversity and inclusion training for all employees.
  • To make adjustments to meet the needs of disabled employees, visitors and clients where reasonable and practicable to do so.
  • To ensure all internal publications and material reflect, in the language and images, the diversity of our employees and clients.
  • To provide investment products, solutions and services to our clients without any form of unlawful discrimination and/or harassment.

As a global player, Natixis Investment Managers recruits people from all around the world. We believe that our employees from many different cultural, racial, linguistic and national backgrounds provide us with the valuable knowledge for understanding complex global markets and allow us to better support our clients wherever they are based. We have established programs that provide opportunities to identify talented women and individuals from ethnic and other under-represented backgrounds for recruitment, with the end goal for them to become high-achieving professionals, while we invest in pipeline opportunities for high-performing employees from all backgrounds and demographics.

 

A more recent initiative is the Natixis Scholarship Program. The financial industry historically has not done enough to attract diverse talent from an early age. A focus of our diversity and inclusion program is to develop a pipeline of diverse talent early enough so candidates receive the academic training and internship experience needed to succeed in the financial industry. Just as important, we aim to inspire promising candidates to pursue a career in asset management and build a career with us. To expand those efforts, we will be creating a scholarship program for university students from under-represented minority groups, which we hope will help bring diversity to our industry and contribute to our talent pool at Natixis IM. Scholarships will be granted to two students with a demonstrated financial need who are majoring in business, and we will support the students and help develop their talents through internships and mentoring from our team. We will pilot this program in the US, where we can build on existing university partnerships and mentoring programs, and look to expand to other locations.

 

Natixis Investment Managers endeavors to attract applicants from all sections of society, and we strive to reflect the diversity of the communities in which we operate. We will ensure fair treatment through the recruitment process. This includes:

  • Checking that job descriptions are relevant and nondiscriminatory.
  • Ensuring that the wording and images used in job advertisements reflect and appeal to all sections of society and comply with the law.
  • Seeking a diverse pool of qualified candidates for each position.
  • Ensuring that all roles are available to internal candidates.
  • Short-listing only those people whose skills and qualifications most closely match the job description.
  • Asking fair, objective and consistent questions during interviews.
  • Keeping records of the recruitment and selection process, including interviews.
  • Monitoring recruitment and selection to ensure equality of opportunity throughout the process and taking steps to eliminate any discriminatory practices.
