Bank of Asia CJSC has published its first Sustainability Report, which reflects the bank’s key achievements in the areas of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG).

One of the most important initiatives was the placement of social gender bonds aimed at supporting women entrepreneurs. The funds raised through these bonds are aimed at developing small and medium-sized businesses and improving financial opportunities for women. The project complies with international standards of social financing and has been confirmed by independent expertise.

In addition, a special sustainability committee was established in the bank to effectively monitor and implement ESG initiatives.

The report also emphasizes the importance of embedding ESG principles in the bank’s corporate practices and its commitment to sustainable development.

The full report can be found on the bank’s official website in the “Gender Bonds” section.
