Climate investing at AXA IM
AXA IM, a responsible asset manager
As a responsible asset manager, we actively invest for the long term to help our clients prosper and contribute to a flourishing future for the planet and our societies. From this perspective, the fight against climate change is perhaps the most pressing challenge.
Governments around the world are working to limit global warming by aligning their economies with the goals of the 2015 Paris Agreement (COP 21). This movement has strengthened the momentum for economic growth based on a more low-carbon model. Similarly, announcements of large companies committing to carbon neutrality are multiplying as the volume of green bond issuance continues to grow. This dynamic is a source of both risk and opportunity for companies and investors alike.
These developments are changing the way we analyze and evaluate companies and governments, and are influencing our strategies for optimizing portfolios through responsible and impact investing. Climate is now the dominant theme in the world of environmental, social and governance (ESG) analysis, and we have long believed that effective ESG analysis can identify the most sustainable companies that are capable of generating longer-term financial performance.
At AXA IM, our research and investment teams include more than 30 responsible investment specialists. We believe that responsible investing and ESG should be at the heart of our business to shape portfolios to meet today's challenges such as climate change.
We believe that the time has come for investors to address and adapt to this new reality. With our ACT Climate range, we have the knowledge and tools to help them do so.
