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.
