Where is CSR heading to in Lebanon?

Corporate Social Responsibility has taken its first step in Lebanon; this can be shown by the various banks adopting this concept. A conference was held in May 2009 in Intercontinental Phoenicia Hotel, Beirut, Lebanon discussing CSR in the region. It was titled as “Better Business Value Group”, sponsored by the “American Lebanese Chamber of Commerce”. This demonstrates genuine efforts being initiated to take CSR a step forward in Lebanon and the region.CSR programs are not applicable to all companies; it is rather customized to large companies that actually invest and reap more in society. These companies are more socially obligated towards their community and should contribute to its development.

  1. Although I believe we have no CSR in Lebanon, unfortubately, but I believe it is highly important to have seminars and discussions about it. Thank you for bringing up the topic.
