AXA publishes comprehensive climate data and joined RE100, but intensity-based targets on financed emissions mask reliance on carbon credits for net-zero claims. NGO investigations document persistent underwriting of new oil and gas infrastructure despite stated climate leadership—a gap between policy and portfolio action that undermines credibility.
AXA scores 53/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment, scored from public data only. Fees pay for the review, never the result. Last verified May 2026.
That places AXA joint 80th of 847 companies scored, and 2nd of 14 in Insurance.
Where AXA sits among insurance peers.
Among the 14 major insurance brands we've scored, AXA sits 2nd of 14.
Its three lowest-scoring questions, and what the evidence didn't show.
Supplier climate plans cover 66% of GenEx and IT spend, but full Scope 3 quantification incomplete—material blind spot for an insurer.
UK subsidiary verified Scope 1/2 figures, but group-level absolute tonnage and third-party verification methodology not publicly confirmed in accessible sources.
No verified absolute waste targets or circular procurement KPIs confirmed beyond 2025 milestones.
