Natixis’ sport sponsoring and patronage activities focus on sporting projects with collective ambitions. Natixis shares with its clients and staff values inherent to sport such as solidarity, and particularly those conveyed by the Olympic movement and the world of rugby.
Natixis, Premium Partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games
Since January 1, 2019, Natixis has been a Premium Partner of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. This unique experience is an invitation for our clients and staff to share common values and a passion for sport ahead of the event.
Natixis and rugby, a lasting partnership
Since 2007, Natixis has chosen to work alongside a team, a collective, in a partnership founded on close ties and humanity. Natixis is the official sponsor of Racing 92, the historic French rugby club.
Natixis sides with Racing 92 in order to:
- support the development of young talent (training center)
- embed the values of teamwork and sport in the young (rugby schools)
- help Racing 92 win a first European title (Champions Cup)
- assist the club in its campaign for another French national title (TOP 14)

Natixis and Trans-forme, an affair of the heart
Since 2008, we have supported the Trans-forme federative association of transplant and dialysis patients by taking part in the Course du Cœur race in support of organ donation.
The Course du Coeur is a four-day and night race, during which a team of 14 company staff relay each other to complete a 750-kilometer course between Paris and Arcs-Bourg Saint Maurice in the French Alps. Among the teams, one of them is made up of former transplant patients (heart, liver, kidney, bone marrow).
The goal? Raise public awareness of the issue of organ donation.
For Benoît Jehan, joint captain for the Course du Cœur 2021:
The Course du Cœur generates a powerful sense of engagement within the team, thanks to the values of sport and the chance to use those values to further a noble cause in the interests of society.
Engaging for breast cancer research
Marking the start of the international breast cancer action week, Pink October, Odyssea Paris is not merely a competition, but an event combining generosity and sport.

Initially heavily involved in the conservation and restoration of major works, Natixis has gradually shifted its focus towards making culture widely accessible to the general public. Today, the company sustainably supports institutions that exhibit the treasures of our cultural heritage, particularly in the fields of painting and music.
Music
Natixis strives, through music, to contribute to the transmission of culture, to provide all audiences access to music and to foster tomorrow's talents.
Paintings and exhibitions
