AXA

We are living longer than ever. People change careers later in life, start new projects at 50, 60 or more, and stay active across generations. Yet too often, age still comes with labels, limits, and doors that close. With the new AXA campaign “Age shouldn’t be a risk”, the focus is on one question: how can every stage of life remain a time to move forward, not step back? Across health, life and savings, work and business transmission, the campaign highlights ways to support people as they age: staying healthy for longer, protecting their income, starting again after 40 or 50, or passing on a business in good conditions. Every age is the right one when what you can do matters more than how old you are.

Violence against children is a silent emergency that threatens the very fabric of our social cohesion. Nine months ago, AXA launched a 3‑year, €10M program to address this issue in a concrete and sustainable way. Today, the AXA Foundation for Human Progress is announcing its first 13 laureates, a collective of committed organizations in France, Colombia and Spain. Each of these organizations brings forward an innovative, locally rooted solution. Together, they act across the entire spectrum: - making often-hidden violence visible, - building safe and sustainable protection pathways, - addressing root causes to prevent violence before it happens. Protecting children means laying the foundations of a resilient and cohesive society. It is a long-term commitment that we are determined to uphold and strengthen.

The best career advice he ever received: the team is bigger than the individual. For Jonathan Salter, Head of Risk Consulting at AXA XL, leadership isn't about being the smartest in the room. It's about removing roadblocks, having honest career discussions, and listening to people whose backgrounds you might not expect. His own turning point? A conversation in a laboratory, early in his career, that helped him realize his heart wasn't in it and changed everything. "I knew my heart wasn't in it, but I'd never spoken to anyone about it. And that was the catalyst for the career that I've had." The most underused tool in any organization: simply asking people what they want to do.

🌿 Et si la nature devenait notre meilleure assurance ? AXA France franchit une nouvelle étape et devient le 1er assureur reconnu “Entreprise engagée pour la nature” par l’Office français de la biodiversité. Une reconnaissance qui vient souligner une conviction forte : la protection de la biodiversité est non seulement un enjeu environnemental, mais aussi un enjeu économique, de maîtrise des risques et de résilience, au cœur de nos activités.  Parce que lorsque la nature se fragilise, ce sont aussi nos équilibres économiques et sociaux qui sont impactés. Face à cette réalité, nous avons fait le choix de structurer notre action. Être “Engagé pour la nature”, c’est aller au-delà des intentions : ✅ mieux comprendre nos impacts   ✅ agir concrètement, avec nos partenaires   ✅ accompagner nos clients face aux risques liés à la nature  Concrètement, cela se traduit par 17 actions déployées sur l’ensemble de nos activités : assureur, investisseur et entreprise. Un cadre exigeant, avec des objectifs et un suivi dans le temps, pour ancrer cet engagement dans la durée et en mesurer les résultats. 👉 Pour en savoir plus sur cet engagement : https://lnkd.in/ejJ4cUPr   #EngagéPourLaNature #Biodiversité #RSE

What happens when you make the invisible visible? Tobias Gremmler spent years exploring movement through new technologies. With this project, he did something new: he revealed the details of a dance movement, turning a fraction of a second into a permanent, physical sculpture. The result is now installed in the Claude Bébéar Atrium at AXA's headquarters. A work you can walk around, touch, and interpret in your own way. The Atrium was designed as a space where heritage meets contemporary creation. Tobias Gremmler's Anatomy of Motion is its newest landmark, and the first work by a German artist to be exhibited there.

Five teams. Five domains. One common thread: AI in the service of our clients. Our teams are already putting AI to work in ways that directly change the client experience: as a technology experiment, a practical answer to risks that are becoming more complex and more connected. A legal expert spends less time reading stacks of documents, and more time on strategy. A client reached before the stress of waiting sets in. A hospital evaluated on outcomes, not reputation. A risk analyst can model wildfire or flood exposure in real time. A country risk assessed in a fraction of the time. This is what AI looks like when it's built around people.

LGBT+ inclusion progress is real, but it's also fragile. John Hilson is the Risk Office Director at AXA UK & Ireland and Chair of AXA OPEN, AXA's global LGBT+ employee network.  He joined AXA and discovered an environment where being LBGT+ did not present any barriers, and also he knows the importance of broader inclusion mission. "We've made great progress in terms of inclusion and equal rights. But we can see how quickly that can come under pressure, be threatened, or change."  For John, staying optimistic isn't naive, it's strategic. It means focusing on allyship. On shaping not just policy, but the lived experience of LGBT+ colleagues every day. His message to allies is simple: "Be genuine. Be curious. Be brave enough to ask a question you don't know the answer to. Sincerity comes through." #PrideMonth #LGBT+ #Inclusion #WeAreAXA #AXAUKIreland #IDAHOBIT 

The communities least responsible for climate change are the most exposed to it and the least insured. That's the adaptation gap. And it's widening faster than mitigation efforts can close it. In a new conversation, five voices working on climate resilience share what adaptation looks like in practice for cities, governments, and the populations on the front line. Adaptation is not a cost. It's a condition for resilience, insurability, and long-term viability. Where should public-private frameworks start to close the gap?
