«Solidarity is an integral part of our values and corporate culture. The initiative of our Top Management in Puteaux-France to institute a day dedicated to solidarity, testifies once again to our real commitment to this value. Constantly listening to our environment and concerned about the well-being of the populations in our area, AGL's subsidiaries in Benin: Benin Terminal and AGL Benin have seized the initiative of the Solidarity Day to provide solutions for young people in order to leave a fertile ground for education. The many expressions of recognition, enthusiasm and smiles around our three initiatives in Benin are revealing. The commitment of all AGL staff in Benin, the mobilization of each of the employees in their respective positions to ensure that our projects are carried out, make us even more proud to claim to be at the heart of Africa's transformations.» Venance Lubin GNIGLA, Executive Chairman of AGL in Benin
