NYSE Euronext and Vigeo1 recently announced the composition of their SRI (Socially Responsible Investment) indices for the second half of 2014. As from June 2014, AXA will be included in the Euronext Vigeo – "World 120" index, which selects the 120 most advanced companies in the world in terms of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) performance. In addition, AXA's membership within the Euronext Vigeo "France 20", "Eurozone 120" and "Europe 120" indices2 is confirmed.

Moreover, within these rankings, the AXA Group is now positioned as the insurance industry's ESG sector leader, amongst a panel of 37 peers. This marks good progress compared to the previous rating cycle in 2012 where AXA ranked 4th out of 33 peers. Indeed, AXA outperformed on average its competitors in the 6 dimensions of the rating methodology:

• Environment: incorporation of environmental considerations into daily operations and into policies and actions for the territory
• Human Resources: labor relations, working conditions, health and safety, career development and training, remuneration systems
• Human Rights: fundamental human rights, freedom of association, non-discrimination
• Community Development: contribution to social, economic development and territorial planning, social cohesion
• Procurement and services: integration of social and environmental standards in procurement, quality of services to users, prevention of corruption
• Governance: representative and participative democracy, audits and internal controls.

"Since the launch of a new strategy in 2010, AXA has been consistently improving its performance on Corporate Responsibility (CR).Our progress is measured both internally, using an innovative proprietary "CR Barometer" 3 and externally, through our presence in major SRI indexes. We are proud that Vigeo has recognized us as insurance sector leader. This is both the reflection of our belief that CR is a key pillar of our strategy, and of the efforts made by employees around the world in our ongoing journey towards becoming a more responsible corporation." said Alice Steenland, Corporate Responsibility Director of the AXA Group.
