An Eco Responsible Private Bank opt for Interactive Annual Report

AfrAsia Bank, one of the most important private bank in Mauritius with an office in South Africa. The main aim of the bank is to establish relationships between Africa, Asia and the world through banking services.

The Annual Report is a mandatory document for a bank listed on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius and with ethical good governance practices. Before 2019, Afrasia was publishing its Annual report printed and in PDF. In 2019, Nova Interaction approached AfrAsia Bank to develop an interactive annual report that would help get various stakeholders connected and engaged with your business or brand through a mobile friendly web application that would be developped in a relatively short period of time.

Understanding Interactive Annual Report

The Interactive Annual Report of AfrAsia bank design was in line with their printed version and conceived by our professional team keeping in mind the User experience for mobile. Eventually, our development team had put much more emphasis on user friendliness considering the customer experience on mobile and desktop devices was important to ensure the success of such project for AfrAsia Bank. Consequently, this might be helpful for Afrasia Bank as it will still be able to focus on client centricity and may as well ensure that this strategy may in turn assist in building positive links with the communities around. Also, the Interactive Annual Report increases the percentage of shareability to the stakeholders and beyond, with searchable and social sharing features of the Interactive Annual Report Web application.

Sustainable behavior

Interactive Annual Report helps promotes sustainable practices. AfrAsia Bank corporate and social responsibility lays down emphasis on “Natural Capital”, and implemented a Think Green Corporate Programme which lay down emphasis on the idea of measuring and reducing the environmental impact. Sustainable practices is an on-going process at AfrAsia Bank.

Foremost, like for example, the E-statements, E-advice and E-payslips have been implemented within the Bank so as to promote awareness on environmental concerns and stakeholders are prompted to opt for soft copies of Annual report. Therefore choosing an Interactive Annual Report was a logical path for AfrAsia Bank, to continue maintaining this social engagement towards our planet.
