REPORTING
Next year, the Bank will be embarking on international sustainability reporting that reflects AfrAsia’s values and governance model,
and demonstrates the link between its strategy and commitment to a sustainable economy. Sustainability will be key in driving the
Bank’s competitive advantage.
By the end of 2016 - 2017, the Bank’s aim is to align its sustainability reporting with both Global Reporting Initiatives (GRI) and the
UN Global Compact.
