CSR in Lebanon

Almost all CSR activities in Lebanon are under the discretionary part. For example Byblos Bank had CSR programs which included working with UNICEF to help in improving public schools, donating computers to public schools and organizing workshops for the disabled at work (Byblos Bank Events, 2009). Other banks in Lebanon also engage in their social contributions, donations or programs involving the orphans and handicapped, art and cultural development type activities, sports and music events, and educational and learning programs (Jamali, D. & Mirshak, R., 2007).
