Our commitments
Structuring our practices to meet sustainable challenges
As the first bank fully aligned with the Paris Agreement, AFD Group has implemented a corporate social responsibility (CSR) approach since 2004. This framework shapes both its internal operations and project delivery, meeting social, environmental, ethical, and transparency standards—particularly in relation to human rights and anti-corruption. This commitment to responsibility reflects a strengthened accountability framework, consistent with the Group’s sustainable development commitments.
A distinctive player in the development landscape, AFD Group acts as a catalyst within the Finance in Common (FiCS) movement, channeling financing toward global public goods and the most vulnerable populations and territories. Its mission: to finance what others do not, and to help bring forth sustainable solutions from across the globe.
