Responsible Investment Report 2024
Anchored on data analytics provided via AXA Altitude, a science-based, data driven platform to help businesses and investors assess and manage climate, carbon, and biodiversity risks across their portfolios, the team completed a portfolio analysis which highlighted both hot spots of higher risk and value creation opportunities.
The key findings and recommendations from the analysis were shared with management teams as a part of annual engagement to determine whether appropriate mitigation measures are already in place or need to be implemented.
The review confirmed that climate and nature risks are material yet manageable with proactive measures. We are working closely with companies with higher risk exposure to define and implement mitigation actions.
