AXA Investment Managers (AXA IM) is stepping up integration of environmental, social and governance (ESG) in its mainstream products, IPE reports. The expansion will be in addition to the increase in AXA’s six responsible-investment labeled products. The near-term focus of ESG will be on unemployment and similar social issues.

The incorporation will be undertaken through an expanded data provisioning on the ESG side. The company seeks ESG to become an opt-out approach in contrast to its current opt-in status in the next few years.
