Corporate Responsibility

"For AXA, being responsible is first and foremost about taking on risks transferred from our clients on a lasting basis. It also means innovating by analyzing the expectations of individuals or businesses, factoring in the impacts of their behavior on Society over the long term. Lastly, it represents the meaning that we give to our business: enabling our clients, through a lasting relationship with them, to be life confident. For us, the stakes involved with being a responsible corporate entity converge with what is at stake for our business".

Henri de Castries, Chairman of the AXA Group's Management Board
