HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach – 22 April 2021 – AXA
Hong Kong and Macau (“AXA”) is proud to be the first insurer to join the “Green
Monday ESG Coalition” (“Coalition”) as a founding Mission Partner, rendering
our full support to combat climate change for a sustainable and resilient
future.

 

The Coalition is led by Green Monday
Group, a leading green social enterprise headquartered in Hong Kong. It aims to
unify businesses with concrete carbon emission reduction actions to achieve the
global “Net Zero” goal.

 

As the first and only
insurer joining the Coalition, AXA has pledged to combat climate change through
a series of innovative green actions and co-creating social education and
community projects with Green Monday.

 

Sally Wan, Chief
Executive Officer of AXA Hong Kong and Macau, said, “Climate change is our century’s
biggest challenge. As a global insurance leader, AXA is
committed to being a catalyst for action to build a green
and sustainable future. We are very pleased to join forces with Green
Monday and other like-minded leading firms in this Coalition to take
action for our planet. This again brings to life AXA’s Purpose – Act
for human progress by protecting what matters.”

 

AXA Group has been at the forefront
of the fight against climate change for years. In the AXA Group “Driving
Progress 2023” strategy which was announced in December 2020, reinforcing our
climate leadership position is one of the five key strategic actions. With our
commitments and actions towards sustainability, we were recognised as the
second most responsible insurer in the world by the Dow Jones Sustainability
Index in 2020.
