AXA Mansard Urges Increased Efforts to Combat Climate Change
AXA Mansard, a leading insurance provider, has emphasized the need for heightened efforts to mitigate the devastating impacts of climate change on humanity. In a statement released on Wednesday, during the launch of Shared Value Nigeria, Rashidat Adebisi, Chief Client Officer of AXA Mansard, warned that climate change poses an existential threat to life on Earth, necessitating urgent action to prevent its effects.
According to Adebisi, AXA Mansard’s two-pillar approach to sustainability focuses on climate change and inclusive protection. The company aims to minimize environmental impact while driving health, well-being, and economic inclusivity within vulnerable communities. This approach is rooted in the idea that a sustainable world is an insurable world, where everyone can thrive.
The company’s commitment to sustainability is driven by its perspective on profit with purpose. Adebisi explained that value creation for all is where everyone wins, as it enables people to live better lives, protects the planet, and allows businesses to fulfill their obligations to stakeholders.
AXA Mansard has taken a strategic approach to sustainability, avoiding industries that may hinder long-term sustainability and investing in sectors with promising growth and stability. The company has also forged partnerships with telecoms, fintech, and retail sectors to expand its reach and create impact.
These collaborations have enabled AXA Mansard to reach more vulnerable communities through digital and technology acceleration, providing healthcare services, capacity development, and financial empowerment programs. This inclusive protection approach recognizes that value is created across the chain, benefiting everyone involved.
AXA Mansard’s commitment to sustainability has been recognized by Brand Finance, which has named the company one of the sustainability leaders in Africa. As the company continues to act for human progress by protecting what matters, its dedication to sustainability remains at the heart of its agenda.
In the face of the urgent threat posed by climate change, AXA Mansard’s call to action is clear: increased efforts are needed to create a safer, more secure, and healthier world for all.
