Corporate Responsibility

It is not enough to be an active player in responsible investment: we commit to act responsibly as a business to contribute to a more sustainable world.

Our approach
Our commitments

Holding ourselves to account

We work to bring our responsibility commitments to life through our own corporate behaviours and actions: by actively working to reduce our operational carbon footprint to contribute to Net Zero goal, by being transparent through reporting on our non-financial Net Zero targets in AXA IM for Progress Monitor, by fostering a culture of inclusion and diversity and through our global philanthropy programme ‘Empowering Sustainable Futures’.

Our commitments

We have implemented many commitments and initiatives to demonstrate our own implementation of corporate responsibility. Our considered approach is based on three main commitments spanning the ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) spectrum.

Environmental

We are committed to reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. We also promote sustainability across our value chain, encouraging our suppliers to reduce their own emissions.

Social

Our commitments to ‘invest for what matters’ and contribute to the communities we serve are reflected in our philanthropy programme ‘Empowering Sustainable Futures’, which brings together philanthropic funding sources, scientific research funding and volunteering efforts across all countries under one umbrella programme. We are also committed to upholding human rights, both as an employer and through our supply chain.

Governance

We aim to maintain robust and sustainable business practices by incorporating necessary controls, governance and actions. Our sustainability governance ensures that our investment and business teams are in alignment on ambition and implementation – ensuring that we walk the talk across our operations and in our business culture.
