AXA IM For Progress Monitor

We set the goal of reaching net zero as a business and investor by 2050, and we developed the AXA IM For Progress Monitor to ensure our non-financial targets are positioned just as visibly as our financial objectives, giving you a simple and transparent way to track our progress towards net zero.

Monitoring our progress towards net zero​

We chose eight key performance indicators (KPIs) based on their strategic importance and material contribution towards our net zero goal, enabling us to share with you how our commitments and actions are driving change across the following themes:

  • 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.
