Pioneers on the subject in Africa, we must continue and further convince the different players in our ecosystem that it is together that we will succeed in the challenge of the Sustainable Development Goals. I wish Amélie great success in her new role which will be full of challenges and welcome to our teams. »- Hassanein Hiridjee, CEO of the AXIAN group.

“I am really delighted to join the AXIAN group as Impact & Sustainability Group Director. More particularly, I am proud to join a Malagasy and pan-African group which excels in 5 key sectors for the development of the continent and which places positive impact and sustainable development at the heart of its business strategy. Thanks to a realistic and inspiring vision for Africa, with all the teams in place, we will contribute to making the Sustainable Development Goals a reality. »-Amélie Yan-Gouiffes, Impact & Sustainability Director of the AXIAN group.

A founding member of the Global compact initiative in the Indian Ocean, AXIAN integrates these fundamental principles into its strategies, culture and daily operations. For the past three years, the pan-African group has been publishing its impact report which highlights its projects and concrete achievements in favor of a more inclusive and innovative digital, financial and energy ecosystem in Africa.

More than a philosophy, the Impact vision is an integral part of AXIAN’s business model. It is driven by an innovative growth model based on inclusion, partnerships and the sharing of expertise to generate positive effects and guarantee opportunities for all Africans.

While the impact measurement process began in Madagascar in 2019, it is gradually expanding, depending on the areas and countries of intervention.
