Sustainable Finance: Bank of Africa awarded in Hong Kong
Bank of Africa has received the “Outstanding Service” award at the 2025 plenary meeting of the Green Investment Principles (GIP) for the “Belt and Road Initiative”, held recently in Hong Kong.
Co-organized with the University of Hong Kong on its Centenary Campus, recognized as an international hub for sustainability innovation, the award highlights Bank of Africa’s pioneering role in promoting sustainable finance and strengthening South-South cooperation within the GIP network, the institution said in a statement.
“This award underscores our commitment to making sustainable finance a driver of competitiveness and transformation for Africa. Through the GIP, we work to build tangible bridges between African and Asian markets, promote transparency, facilitate transitions, and soon, adaptation. It is a collective recognition of the work of our teams and the vision of Mr. Othman Benjelloun,” said Brahim Benjelloun-Touimi, CEO and Executive Director.
Under the leadership of its Chairman and CEO, Othman Benjelloun, Bank of Africa has established itself as a leading African player in international sustainable finance. A founding member and the first African institution to sit on the GIP Secretariat since 2019, the bank also co-chairs the Africa Chapter under Mr. Benjelloun-Touimi.
The bank actively works to raise awareness and train financial actors on ESG issues, promote innovative solutions adapted to African markets, and strengthen South-South cooperation, accelerating the adoption of best practices in sustainable finance.
