Allocating capital to issuers committed to decarbonisation
Favouring more-aligned over less-aligned issuers and using the natural strong portfolio liquidity to implement active views and manage the fund’s carbon emissions. We additionally apply AXA IM exclusion policies from our broader responsible investment approach and avoid climate laggards.
How we meet our decarbonisation objective
Financing companies that are transitioning their own businesses away from fossil fuels
Using AXA IM’s extensive analyst resources, proprietary frameworks and tools to monitor issuers and portfolio decarbonisation over time.
Engaging with companies to understand and influence their net zero trajectories
Engagement is one of the most powerful tools we have to encourage companies to reduce carbon emissions. Divestment remains an option of last resort, but we believe that holding a bond gives us a greater opportunity to improve outcomes for investors and the world.
