AXA scores 53/100 (Making progress) on SINK's independent climate assessment — scored from public data only, no company payment can change a number. Last verified May 2026.
That places AXA joint 77th of 809 companies scored, and 2nd of 10 in Insurance.
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.
