AXA Board of Directors
đď¸ AXA Board of Directors determines the strategic orientations of the Company and ensures their implementation, including on environmental, social and governance matters.[1] It notably chooses the appropriate governance framework, appoints and dismisses key corporate officers (including the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer), convenes shareholdersâ meetings, reviews and sets the Companyâs and the Groupâs half-year and annual financial statements, and sets risk appetite and overall risk tolerance limits for AXA SA.[1]
đĽ Composition. As of January 1, 2026, the Board of Directors was comprised of thirteen members (seven women and six men), with five nationalities represented.[1] In accordance with French law, the Board includes an employee shareholdersâ representative appointed by shareholders every four years from a list selected through an internal process, and two directors representing the employees, and it has no non-voting members (censors).[1] Based on the Afep-Medef Code criteria, the Board assessed eight of its thirteen members as independent on January 1, 2026: Clotilde Delbos, Dr. Angelien Kemna, Rachel Picard, Marie-France Tschudin, Guillaume Faury, Ramon Fernandez, Antoine Gosset-Grainville, and Ewout Steenbergen.[1]
đ§ Chairmanship and procedures. Under French law, the Chairmanâs role is to organize and oversee the work of the Board, including setting meeting agendas, holding regular discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and directors, and ensuring directors receive information early enough to examine it and fulfill their role.[1] Following its decision to appoint Antoine Gosset-Grainville as Chairman in April 2022, the Board extended the Chairmanâs duties to include promoting the Companyâs values and culture (notably on sustainability and professional ethics), representing the Company with public bodies and other stakeholders at the Chief Executive Officerâs request, consulting with and advising the Chief Executive Officer on major topics and events, and contributing views on strategic issues without holding executive power.[1] The Board operates under Terms of Reference, meets as often as it deems necessary, schedules at least one annual meeting of directors without Executive Management present, and requires directors (other than employee-representative directors) to build an AXA shareholding within two years at least equal in value to the gross annual amount of their directorsâ fees earned for the previous fiscal year.[1]
