Just as we are an active player in responsible investment with ESG integration embedded across our investment platforms and RI experts, we recognise our role as a business and employer, to hold ourselves to the same high standards that we ask of others.

In Corporate Responsibility, we are guided by three commitments:

• People - we strive for an inclusive work environment built on fairness, equality and wellbeing in which performance and long-term employability can be nurtured.
• Environment – as a leading asset manager, we recognise our responsibility and crucial role we can play as an investor in leading the transition to a low carbon economy. Climate change is our key priority and focus.
• Business resilience – we seek to produce a long-term profit in a responsible, resilient and sustainable manner. Our decision making processes, policies and day to day operations need to made with responsibility at the core.

The role of the Corporate Responsibility team is therefore to demonstrate how AXA IM walks the talk as a business and employer, acting in a responsible and sustainable manner with all key audiences. The team leverages the research, insight, activity and commitments of both AXA Group and AXA IM to develop a roadmap and calendar of activity to define priorities, track progress and measure our impact as an organization. The team is split between France and the UK.
