[Kenya] Bureau Veritas partners with digital female-driven mentorship platform TWAA to support women in business in Africa
Bureau Veritas has announced the launch of its “BV Women in Africa Mentorship Program” in Kenya in partnership with TWAA, a professional networking, knowledge-sharing platform for women and girls in Africa.
The platform provides women with digital tools to connect and find suitable mentors and mentees, share and access opportunities bolstering continuous progress and development.
“The Bureau Veritas Group operates in several countries across Africa. The organization has a verystrong ethos on gender balance and women empowerment. As such many of our CSR initiatives focus on the support and development of women both inside and outside of the organization. ‘’ Marc Roussel, President of Government Services & International Trade & Senior Vice President said at the launch of the program in Nairobi.
‘’The TWAA initiative is a unique way for our Group to engage women in supporting each other through a BV dedicated mentorship program. This platform creates a unique opportunity to invite many of the great women of BV to support other women within Africa. The digital tool is an incredible means to reach out to many women even if they are located remotely.’’
Marc added that the initiative will contribute positively to the social compact and development within the African continent.
