AXA S.A.

AXA S.A. is one of the world’s largest insurance and asset management companies, with operations in over 50 countries and a client base of more than 93 million people. Founded in 1816 (as Mutuelle de L’assurance contre L’incendie), the company evolved through numerous mergers and acquisitions, adopting the name “AXA” in 1985. Today, it is a global leader in life insurance, health insurance, property & casualty insurance, and investment management services.

AXA offers a wide range of services for individuals, SMEs, and large corporations, including life insurance, retirement plans, savings products, general insurance, and risk management. The company operates through five primary segments: France, Europe, Asia, AXA XL (its corporate risk and reinsurance arm), and International & Transversal. AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) and AXA XL are key components of the group’s long-term strategy to diversify revenue and manage global risk exposure.

In recent years, AXA has increasingly focused on climate risk, digital transformation, and inclusive insurance. It has committed to achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, reducing the carbon footprint of its investment portfolio, and investing in green bonds and sustainable infrastructure. AXA also integrates digital tools to enhance claims processing, underwriting, and customer engagement across its platforms.

The company is a major player in reinsurance and specialty lines, especially through its 2018 acquisition of XL Group, now operating as AXA XL. This strengthens its presence in the U.S. market and global specialty risk.

AXA employs more than 90,000 people worldwide and consistently ranks in the Fortune Global 500 and Forbes Global 2000. Its long-term mission is to empower people to live better lives by protecting what matters most—health, wealth, and peace of mind.
