Dear Stakeholders, It is with great pleasure that we inaugurate this first Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) report which aims to shed light on BLC Bank’s commitment to the Lebanese economy, environment and community. We will share insights on the way we conduct business and deal with each stakeholder’s needs, to make sure our products, services, workplace, initiatives and activities reflect our vision to be a reference Bank in a changing world. As a financial service provider, we believe that we have more than an economic role to fulfill which is why we have adopted Corporate Social Responsibility as one of our core values.We choose to embody a corporate world where transparency, accountability, ethics and responsibility lie at the heart of each action that is taken. We choose to be the Bank that believes in women and their power, SMEs and their potential, green energies and their crucial role in insuring a brighter, more hopeful tomorrow. Since the ultimate objective is not a simple one, it is only through concrete actions that we can achieve our sustainable goals. We hence embraced a holistic approach built on four pillars: our business, our environment, our people and our community. This way, not only does BLC Bank insure proper corporate governance and protection of stakeholders’ rights, it also promotes talents and economically empowers entrepreneurs through innovative initiatives such as the Brilliant Lebanese Awards and our now world renowned WE Initiative. This has allowed us to lead the way of a momentum that has expanded and reached other financial institutions from all around the world. When it comes to energy efficiency and the safeguard of our environment, we have implemented a 360 degree approach from the products and services we offer our stakeholders, to the internal practices and policies, the green retrofit of our premises, to our reforestation efforts across Lebanon. But none of this would be possible without the BLC Bank family to whom we are committed to provide equal opportunities, in a safe and healthy work environment. In this regard, we become the first Bank in the Middle East and North Africa region to commit to the UN Women Empowerment Principles, striving to become the employer of choice. Let this report be the first of a series which will annually bring you more news, positive projects and reached milestones. Yours responsibly, MAURICE SEHNAOUI CHAIRMAN GENERAL MANAGER
