CSR is gaining ground in Lebanon
Corporate Social responsibility (CSR) has started to gain grounds in Lebanon as several organizations began to realize the importance of CSR strategies for business continuity and sustainability. Although focusing on community issues is not a new phenomenon, companies are becoming more aware of the need to be responsible towards the economy, society, environment, and human welfare.
CSR professionals and business leaders will gather next April in Beirut to share their thoughts and experience on the practical implementation of CSR programs that have contributed to the enhancement of business practices. The conference is organized by World Trade Center Beirut (WTC) and United Management Bureau (UMB). The first edition of Lebanon's annual Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Conference (www.csr-event.com) will be held under the theme of "CSR: Unveiling the Moral Purpose of Business"Â on Thursday 14th of April, 2011.
This nation-wide conference will help consolidate CSR initiatives and set the momentum for Corporate Social Responsibility in Lebanon. The event is expected to stimulate the growth of social responsibility culture in organizations to ensure sustainable future. The Conference will cover CSR trends in Lebanon and the region from its strategic conception to implementation.
