Sustainable development

We have always believed in the sustainable development of Africa and we are convinced that thanks to globalisation, its development will accelerate. We consider that our activity contributes to the opening up and to the economic growth, and that the affluence of our actions is favourable to the development of Africa.

Africa is a continent which abounds in resources and its development has just started. In the coming years, it will gain a greater position in the globalisation process. These actions will result in a promising economic growth, but also in the provision of health and education to African people. In order to keep on supporting the emergence of Africa, Bolloré Africa Logistics set practical actions and shoulders a social and environmental responsibility towards Africa so as to encourage :

Access to education and training

• Partnership with Repta (Réseau d’éducation pour tous en Afrique) encouraging literacy of school-excluded populations, particularly children in the street.
  • Encouragement for school and employment of the most deserving
  • Allowance of grants or internship’s assignment
• Funding of a school in one the landlocked regions in Côte d’Ivoire.
• Partnership with Unitar (United Nations Institute for Training And Research) in the pipeline
  • Training in the healthcare sector to set up a program aimed at enhancing Aids screening rates in Cameroon.
