Responsible Investment (RI)

AXA Investment Managers, (AXA IM), is fully committed to becoming a leader in Responsible Investment (RI) and supporting sustainable financial markets. This is an important step in winning the preference of all our stakeholders.

As the world faces serious challenges ranging from climate change to social inequality, developing a strong expertise in RI will be no longer a choice for asset managers but a necessity.

As part of AXA IM’s commitment, we have defined a new RI strategy: RI Inside the ultimate objective is to progressively integrate ESG* criteria into each of our expertises as well as pure and innovative RI Products.

Our experienced RI Inside team has recently launched RI Search, a new tool, which enables our fund managers to incorporate ESG* criteria into investment decisions, when managing their funds. The team also regularly publishes RI Inside research covering the latest RI developments and macro themes.

AXA IM’s range of RI products aims to achieve financial and material risk adjusted long-term capital growth. It completes and strengthens our multi-expert business model.

By developing RI products, we use skills and expertise in our core investment processes to create a self-sustaining impetus for positive development.

We have played a key role in RI since 1997 and belong to a number of global initiatives.
