How does AXA IM approach RI ?
- 01 October 2021 (5 min read)
In this video, we outline how AXA IM approaches responsible investing.
There are three pillars to our RI approach which provide the common principles for ESG integration across our equities, fixed income and multi-asset portfolios.
The first pillar is our proprietary scoring and research framework. We make our quantitative and qualitative ESG insight easily available to our investment teams to ensure it can be part of the conversation among those who are making investment recommendations and decisions. The second pillar applies AXA IM’s exclusion policies, while the third pillar focuses on active stewardship of assets through engagement with companies.

The ESG data used in the investment process are based on ESG methodologies which rely in part on third party data, and in some cases are internally developed. They are subjective and may change over time. Despite several initiatives, the lack of harmonized definitions can make ESG criteria heterogeneous. As such, the different investment strategies that use ESG criteria and ESG reporting are difficult to compare with each other. Strategies that incorporate ESG criteria and those that incorporate sustainable development criteria may use ESG data that appear similar, but which should be distinguished because their calculation method may be different.
