AXA Climate’s purpose is to help Planet Earth become a true stakeholder of all companies, in the same way that employees, customers and shareholders are.

The fast-growing, young and dynamic team of AXA Climate is based in Paris and is active in over 40 countries. Expert in parametric insurance, AXA Climate has been expanding its offering to reduce climate risk by providing consulting services focused on climate change adaptation measures, insurance scheme design as well as financing tools for risk reduction investment.

AXA Climate's desire is to innovate in terms of corporate culture so that everyone can flourish and develop all its potential.
