Monitoring our progress towards net zero

Decarbonisation across main asset classes and own operations.
Importance of engagement activities with investee companies and our own employees.
Solutions to consciously channel capital to companies and projects helping accelerate the transition.

What is the AXA IM For Progress Monitor?

The AXA IM for Progress Monitor is a selection of eight metrics with interim targets, chosen for their strategic importance and material contribution towards the firm’s goal of becoming net zero as a business and investor by 2050. These metrics are:   

Corporate portfolio carbon intensity 
AXA IM operational carbon footprint 
Coal exposure   
Real Estate carbon intensity  
Real Estate AUM CRREM aligned 
Investment in Natural Capital Solutions 
Active external engagement  
Active internal engagement

Progress towards these interim targets will be communicated annually and complement our reporting cycles.  These targets are part of our company’s strategic roadmap and will be reviewed to ensure they are suitably ambitious and reflective of our broader business objectives.  

For several years now, AXA IM has diligently tracked, monitored, and reported transparently on numerous advanced metrics across our investment portfolio and business in its annual TCFD (Taskforce on Climate related Financial Disclosures) and stewardship reports. Non-financial metrics¹ reported as part of AXA IM Progress Monitor are measured directly by AXA IM teams, relying on third-party data providers in some cases. Progress is measured by the teams responsible for these metrics and verified internally by the relevant technical and control teams.²

The AXA IM for Progress Monitor shows how we are progressing towards our net zero goals with the objective to ensure that our non-financial targets are positioned as visibly as our financial ones.

Our clients receive detailed and specific reporting on several ESG related metrics. The Progress Monitor highlights eight key metrics to provide an overall picture of our progress in one place. We seek to enhance credibility as a responsible asset manager, holding ourselves to the same high standards we expect of the companies we invest in. 

AXA IM aligns compensation of senior executives to its ESG ambitions, as part of its commitment to becoming net zero as a business and investor by 2050 to help the transition to a more sustainable world and encourages employees to take part in learning and awareness sessions on sustainability related topics.
