Credit Agricole Ukraine

🌱 Today, ESG is not limited to strategies and reports, it is about specific solutions that help businesses remain sustainable and continue growing even in tough conditions. These issues became a central topic of the ESG Leaders Assembly: “Responsibility that comes at a price”, for which Credit Agricole became a general partner. During the event, Larysa Bondarieva, chairwoman of Credit Agricole’s Management Board, opened with a welcome speech and presented a topic “Who finances responsibility? How Credit Agricole helps businesses change.” 💬 “For Credit Agricole, the responsibility toward Ukrainian businesses has two aspects: preparing customers for European integration and enhancing their resilience in times of war. In the long term, we rely on the support and expertise of the Credit Agricole Group to help businesses prepare for new requirements. At the same time, our task today is to help customers navigate this difficult period and continue operating,” highlighted Larysa Bondarieva. The presentation focused on issues related to energy resilience of businesses, adapting to the challenges of war, finding new logistics solutions, and the role of financing in implementing changes. Credit Agricole continues supporting investment projects of Ukrainian companies, in particular in the areas of energy resilience and sustainable development, as well as helps customers incorporate ESG criteria during the investment planning stage. We believe that responsible business shapes a strong economy, while access to financing and expertise helps implement these changes today.

It’s here!🔥 Credit Agricole Bank, with support from the EBRD and Switzerland (Embassy of Switzerland in Ukraine), held the first webinar as part of series of training sessions for SMEs on developing exports to the EU.   The project comprises of five practical sessions designed to help Ukrainian entrepreneurs prepare to enter European markets or expand their presence there. The training is conducted with the participation of consultants from ConsumerCentriX (Switzerland) in partnership with Roland Berger (a global consulting firm).   💬“During the full-scale invasion, developing export is an important factor in the resilience of Ukrainian businesses. We strive to help companies not only overcome current challenges but also find new opportunities for growth in international markets,” noted Kateryna Rigg, associated manager of SME Development and Support at EBRD in Ukraine and Moldova.   💬“Entering EU markets requires a systematic approach: from understanding market requirements and potential to export strategy, sales, and logistics. Practical knowledge and expert assistance help entrepreneurs turn their ambitions into business decisions,” highlighted Volodymyr Cherviakov, head of the Project from ConsumerCentrix company and Project implementer.   💬“We are convinced that a bank’s role extends beyond financing. Through our partnership with the EBRD, support from Switzerland, and cooperation with leading consultants, we provide our customers with access to international expertise and new opportunities for growth. By investing in entrepreneurs’ knowledge, we support their growth and competitiveness,” says Anastasiia Lazarenko, head of Commercial Activity Assistance Center at Credit Agricole.   There are four more practical webinars ahead, focusing on key aspects of exporting to the EU.   The project is a joint initiative of the EBRD and Credit Agricole Bank, with funding provided by Switzerland under the EBRD Small Business Impact Fund, and is realized by the Swiss company ConsumerCentriX (CCX) in partnership with the global consulting firm Roland Berger.   The Fund’s donors are Ireland, Italy, South Korea, Luxembourg, Norway, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, Switzerland, Sweden, Japan, and TaiwanBusiness — EBRD Technical Cooperation Fund partnership.
