At Bank of Beirut, we acknowledge our responsibility towards the community, and strive to contribute to the wealth and growth of the societies in which we operate. Our topmost goal is to act as a responsible corporate citizen, a role that we consider just as important as our business. Yet, Social Responsibility is more than just a role we play to lend a hand to the communities we serve; it is embedded in our personality as a Bank. Guided by our personality as an authentic, caring, dynamic, young, and dedicated Bank, our CSR programs are focused on education, youth, tourism, sports and human care.
Authentic to our heritage, and to Beirut the capital we proudly hold its name, we are playing a vital role in the promotion of tourism; and it is in this backdrop that Bank of Beirut issued “Lebnen al Bel” card in partnership with the Lebanese Ministry of Tourism and the Middle East Airlines, aiming at supporting our country’s tourism sector and keep Lebanon a 365-day tourist destination. Bank of Beirut is also a brand that cares. Keeping this in perspective, we chose the Lebanese Red Cross as a long-standing partner in our Corporate Social Responsibility programs, namely through our prepaid Fuel Card product, which benefits are partly allotted to the Red cross.
Our young spirit is reflected in our commitment to young generations and education. Indeed, our fruitful affinity relationships with major universities in Lebanon led us to the creation of the “U for Youth” community, offering students professional development programs, and the chance to win 12 scholarships yearly. We continuously sponsor university events and job fairs, and help more than 200 students from different backgrounds to pursue their higher studies in the best universities through our partnership with a renowned Foundation.
Bank of Beirut also showed unwavering commitment to the youth safety through its partnership with Kunhadi Association.
As a dynamic Bank, we partnered with the Lebanese Rugby League to sponsor its championship. By supporting this Championship, we aim at developing this sport in Lebanon and make it a success. Moreover, we seek to spread the Rugby League throughout the region so it benefits from the intrinsic values of the sport, namely teamwork, a strong work ethic, mutual respect, perseverance and dedication.
Corporate Social Responsibility reflects our Bank's commitment to our customers, shareholders, employees and to the communities we serve. A commitment that impels us to perform with the highest standards of governance and ethics and provide support in our communities.
