AXA manages assets totaling around CHF 1,100 billion worldwide. This makes us one of the largest asset managers and one of the world’s most influential investors. With an investment volume of more than EUR 100 billion, AXA is also Europe’s biggest real estate investor and the fifth biggest worldwide. We invest based on our sustainability strategy and strive to balance our economic, environmental and social goals.
We apply our ESG approach professionally for our customers and choose only those investment managers who commit to investing responsibly within their funds as well. We are firmly convinced that incorporating sustainability criteria into our investment decisions will pay off over the long term.
“We firmly believe that using resources sustainably adds value over the long term. As an insurance company, we are also directly affected by climate events. We have therefore been taking a pioneering lead for years and are keen to encourage and support other companies on the path to a more sustainable future.”

To ensure the economic and social well-being of humans and the environmental stability of the planet, sustainability criteria must play a key part in investment decisions. Our goal is to reduce the percentage of carbon emissions in our investment portfolio and to publish these figures annually in our Climate and Biodiversity Report. Sustainable investments are a core component of AXA Asset Management’s offering for both premium and customer assets.
When making investments, AXA’s goal is to contribute to greater sustainability and climate protection. To institutionalize this within our company, we established the AXA Group Responsible Investment Policy. As an asset manager, not only do we take economic factors into account, but also the social and environmental aspects outlined in this policy. AXA’s sustainable investment strategy is built on solid foundations:
