TRANSCRIPT
More than ever, purpose-driven business is high on the corporate agenda. In-creasing numbers of CEOs across the globe are committing to social impact be-yond making a profit. Building corporate purpose has the potential to unlock even greater social impact. Purpose must be at the heart of everything that a corporation does, not just placed on the office wall.
Under the patronage of the Governor of Banque Du Liban H.E. Mr. Riad Salamé, The 7th CSR LEBANON FORUMTM will examine how businesses should not only focus on profit, but rather look at the larger environmental, social and govern-ance issues because managing these risks and opportunities appropriately do generate better returns down the road. The 7th FORUM will debate “Why do businesses exist: To make a profit or to serve a purpose?”
