(29/01/2007) AXA appoints climate change director
AXA Insurance has appointed Kim Clemo to the new position of climate change director. Kim’s previous role was HR Director with AXA Insurance. She will report directly to Peter Hubbard the CEO of AXA Insurance.
Kim Clemo’s role will be the development and delivery of AXA UK ’s climate change strategy. She will bring a clear focus to all the climate change initiatives that AXA is pursuing. These include not only issues like influencing government and product development but also the company’s energy and waste management programme.
Peter Hubbard, CEO of AXA Insurance, said; “AXA, as one of the largest global insurers, is deeply committed to the belief that everyone – individuals, corporations and governments – regardless of their personal ecological imprint, can and should help to reduce environmental impacts.
“For the past 18 months we have developed a number of initiatives around this issue including the publication of a report on the impact of climate change on small businesses in the UK as well as a guide for our commercial customers. The time is now right to add greater emphasis to this work both within AXA and amongst our customers and government at all levels, which is why I am pleased that Kim has accepted this challenge.”
Kim Clemo said, “I am excited and a little apprehensive about my new role as the subject is so wide-ranging. But if we are to live up to our commitment to being a responsible employer and a trusted organisation then we have to address these big issues more aggressively.
“There is already great enthusiasm amongst AXA employees who seem to offering ideas almost daily. I’m looking forward to channelling that enthusiasm for the benefit our own people, our customers and the wider community.”
