Credit Agricole Bank supports “Created by Women” award

It is the second time in a row that Credit Agricole Bank supports the award for business ladies – “Created by Women”. The purpose of the contest is to promote women's entrepreneurship in Ukraine and reward the winner’s business project. The award was initiated by the Business Women Committee of the French-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFU), which consists of women who are founders, directors or members of board of directors of the French companies in Ukraine.

“Our bank supports the award “Created by Women” for the second year in a row because we understand the importance of developing women's entrepreneurship in Ukraine. This contest offers an opportunity to reward business ladies whose projects deserve to be recognized. It is important that French companies in Ukraine give serious consideration to the issue of promoting women’s entrepreneur talents and more and more often entrust them with managerial positions,” Larysa Bondarieva, Deputy Chairman of the Management Board of Credit Agricole Bank, commented.

Women who have recently founded their own companies in any business segment can join the contest “Created by Women”.
