A responsible investor

The Progress Monitor is our framework for tracking non-financial performance against our goal of reaching net zero by 2050. By placing these targets alongside our financial objectives, we make sure sustainability progress is visible, measurable and accountable.

Our strategic pillars and KPIs

We track progress across eight key performance indicators (KPIs) linked to our sustainability and net zero ambitions. These KPIs demonstrate how we are driving change across three strategic pillars:

DECARBONISATION

To deliver financial performance and enhance the long-term value of its investments, we are reducing our associated carbon emissions.

In addition to the decarbonisation of fixed income and equity portfolios, as well as real assets, we also aim to reduce our own operational carbon footprint.

CHANNELING CAPITAL

As a responsible investor, we aim to generate positive financial returns by consciously channelling capital to create favourable social and environmental impact.

Across real assets, bonds, equities, exchange-traded funds and impact investing strategies, we identify and manages investments that meet our stringent sustainability criteria.

ENGAGEMENT

Leveraging our influence as an investor, we aim to improve the practices of investee companies, based on clear and measurable outcomes.

As a business and employer, we engage with our people to enhance their professional development and sustainability understanding. We also encourage participation in AXA IM’s philanthropy and volunteering programme ‘Empowering Sustainable Futures’.
