Alongside Crédit Agricole Group, the Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation has been committed for 10 years to promoting inclusive finance and social impact entrepreneurship. To mark its 10 years of collective action, Crédit Agricole SA and the Foundation organised the “Grameen Crédit Agricole Foundation Week”.
The Foundation Week was launched with the meeting “The Foundation and Social Impact Entrepreneurship” organised on November 19th. The event brought together three social entrepreneurs supported by the Foundation to discuss the main issues of the sector. It was also on this occasion that the NGO Entrepreneurs du Monde received the check corresponding to the amount collected during the Centimes Solidaires campaign.
