FORUM
THE 9th CSR LEBANON FORUM

RE-THINKING PROGRESS: THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY

The circular economy is an economic system where products and services are produced and traded in closed loops or ‘cycles’. A circular economy is regenerative by design, it replaces the end-of-life concept with restoration, shifts towards the use of renewable energy, and aims for the elimination of waste through the superior design and value retention of materials, products, systems and business models.

 

ENVIRONMENT
CONSERVING RESOURCES
RESPONSIBILITY FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS

In an increasingly environmentally conscious world, corporations have an ethical and moral obligation to protect the environment not only through complying with regulations, but also by innovating and reducing their environmental impacts. A significant number of corporations have taken action on this objective by integrating green practices in their daily operations and products and promoting them among customers.

COMMUNITY
CARING FOR PEOPLE
MAKING A REAL DIFFERENCE IN SOCIETY

For corporations to survive and grow, they need to achieve a “social license” through getting involved in fulfilling direct community needs and providing sustainable solutions. Acting beyond formal regulatory processes, corporations can win their surrounding communities’ endorsement through timely and effective communication, meaningful dialogue, and impactful initiatives.

BOTTOM LINE
INCREASING PROFITABILITY
BUSINESS CASE OF RESPONSIBILITY

Displaying commitment to CSR is one way to achieve brand loyalty and build a positive reputation and goodwill with stakeholders. Winning the heart of your employees and community and saving on capital through mainstreaming ethical practices and enhanced management of resources can only improve a company’s bottom line on the long term.

SAID ABOUT CSR LEBANON

  • "On the occasion of the 5th CSR LEBANON FORUM, I wish to recognize the progress made in instilling the culture of CSR in the business community and the consequent growth in the number, diversity and value of initiatives sponsored by this community. This development is due to the efforts of CSR LEBANON. Much remains to be done, however, in order to deploy all the synergies that only a concerted, focused national strategy can help achieve. I wish the Forum great success"


    H.E. Mr. Tammam Salam, Prime Minister of Lebanon
    10 July 2015
  • "There is no doubt that socially and environmentally responsible corporations will earn greater competitiveness, better relationships with their stakeholders, and more efficient risk management. On the banking level, CSR is essential to leverage customer confidence. We applaud CSR LEBANON’s efforts throughout the past Six years in building the foundations for proper CSR adoption in Lebanon. It has been a pleasure to be a strategic supporter of the CSRLEBANON FORUM since its establishment in 2009. This is an excellent regional business and social platform for sharing international knowledge and experience about Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility."


    H.E. Mr. Riad Salamé, Governor of Banque Du Liban
    25 June 2015
  • "CSR LEBANON, under the guidance of Mr. Khaled Kassar, is building momentum for sustainable business practices in Lebanon and the region, and its mission is to support companies seeking to develop their strategies inthis area. UNDP and CSR LEBANON recently signed an MOU in order to cooperate in preparing for the Lebanese CSR Country Report and move towards a national CSR agenda."


    Mr. Georg Kell, Executive Director of the UNGC

  • “I was very pleased to see so many entrepreneurs present at the 4th CSR LEBANON FORUM and ready to work in the true spirit of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).

  • “Congratulations on the very considerable success of the conference. Having organized various events myself, I know just how much hard work has to go into such conferences. You did exceptionally well to get so many speakers from outside Lebanon. CSR LEBANON achieved an international level event in Beirut, one which we only see in annual conferences organized by global sustainability leaders like the UNGC, GRI, and the BITC."


    Professor David Grayson, Director of the Doughty Centre for Corporate Responsibility, Cranfield University UK, London
    20 March 2013
  • “Thank you for the opportunity to be part of such a great event. It is always great to hear from like-minded individuals who are passionate about sustainability.
    I attended the UN Global Compact’s 10th anniversary of the 10th Principle on Anti-Corruption in New York and the main theme was directly in line with the message that I took away from the CSR LEBANON Forum that "Values and principles should be a fundamental part of business transactions.”

    10 December 2014
