Credit Agricole Bank supports the award for business ladies “Created by women”

In early February, this year’s award for business ladies “Created by women” was launched in the UNIAN Information Agency. The purpose of the contest is to promote women's entrepreneurship in Ukraine and reward representatives of business who have already been running their companies. Traditionally, Credit Agricole Bank supports the award, and Larysa Bondarieva, Member of the Management Board, is on the contest’s professional jury, which will decide the winner.

This year, the “Created by women” award winner will receive UAH 100 000 for development of her own business, five-day trip to Paris to visit head offices of companies that are partners of the event, as well as free 1-year CCIFU membership. All female candidates who have already founded their own companies in any area of business can apply to participate in the contest. The submission period will end on March 15.   

“In Credit Agricole, we are sure that women have huge potential and aptitude for entrepreneurship. As a socially responsible company, we acknowledge our support of business ladies and gender equality at whole by our example. Currently, women make 42% of Credit Agricole top managers. We adhere to principles of gender equality, and recently have entered them into the Charter of Equality. It is very important to us, indeed! We are grateful to the CCIFU for this fantastic project “Created by women”, and an opportunity to support Ukrainian business ladies. We strive for the spark of women's entrepreneurship to flame up in full strength!” commented Larysa Bondarieva, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Credit Agricole Bank. 

The award was initiated by the Business Women Committee of the French-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFU), which consists of women who lead companies that are members of the Chamber. For details, please follow the link.
