This momentum is reflected in the implementation of a CSR strategy, including within it priority issues to be addressed in the short, medium and long terms.

Organized around 11 axes and over a period of 5 years, BOAD's 2020-2024 CSR strategy aims to better respond to these priority issues and to contribute more efficiently to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set. by the UN.
