A Commitment to Sustainability and Social Impact
Driven by its “2020 Better Lives Partnership,” AXA has charted a five-year sustainability roadmap focusing on three key pillars. The company is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and supporting climate action, extending protection and risk knowledge to uplift communities, and strengthening relationships with customers by promoting positive health and safety outcomes.
As a global entity, AXA has undergone a strategic transformation to empower people to live a better life. Through its Brand, Communications & Corporate Responsibility department, AXA coordinates efforts to promote employee volunteerism, corporate giving, and community-building initiatives. On an international scale, AXA partners with UN-Habitat to promote risk-resistant building practices in disaster-prone areas, collaborates with CARE to educate African women on protection and risk management, and works with UNICEF on digital programs to combat child obesity in Mexico.
Making an Impact in Malaysia
Locally, AXA actively engages in Corporate Responsibility initiatives, particularly focusing on underprivileged children and community well-being. A standout initiative is the annual CR Week, where AXA employees dedicate their time and resources to social causes. In 2017, AXA partnered with charity homes Rumah K.I.D.S and Ephratha Home, organizing self-defense workshops to equip children with essential safety skills while boosting their confidence. These efforts were complemented by cash contributions of RM 13,000, fundraising for Happiness Centre for Mentally Disabled Children, and additional health-focused programs such as distributing healthy snacks, free health screenings, and hosting anti-depression workshops.
AXA Hearts in Action Run: Running for a Cause
A flagship event in AXA’s social responsibility calendar is the AXA Hearts in Action Run, which has been held annually since 2015. This event not only promotes a healthy lifestyle but also raises awareness and funds for key social causes, including fighting child poverty, empowering women, environmental conservation, wildlife protection, and disease prevention. In 2017, the event saw 5,000 runners donning color-coded shirts in support of various causes, with RM 150,000 contributed to NGO partners, including National Council of Women’s Organisations Malaysia, World Vision Malaysia, WWF Malaysia, and the National Kidney Foundation of Malaysia.
Leadership-Driven Employee Engagement
AXA fosters a strong culture of employee volunteerism, encouraging its workforce, including senior leadership and EXCO members, to take an active role in community initiatives. This hands-on approach ensures that social responsibility remains an integral part of AXA’s corporate DNA, reinforcing its commitment to making a difference beyond business.
