AXA discloses operational emissions comprehensively but excludes financed emissions—the dominant impact category for an insurer—from its carbon footprint, reporting only intensity targets instead of absolute reductions. NGO investigations document persistent oil and gas underwriting inconsistency with climate claims. Renewable energy progress is genuine, but core decarbonization strategy relies on carbon credits rather than pure operational cuts.
