On 24 February 2026, under the patronage of H.E. Eng. Joe Issa-El-Khoury, Lebanese Ministry of Industry - وزارة الصناعة اللبنانية, the United Nations Global Compact Network Lebanon convened senior public sector representatives, international partners and Lebanese industrial leaders at Beirut Digital District for Lebanese Industry for a Sustainable Future.
The high-level dialogue examined how evolving sustainability standards, CBAM requirements, certification systems and structured Monitoring, Reporting and Verification frameworks are reshaping export access and industrial competitiveness. A clear message emerged throughout the discussions: sustainability requirements are now embedded in global trade architecture, and credible data, documentation quality and coordinated institutional support are central to safeguarding Lebanon’s position in international markets.
We extend our sincere thanks to the Ministry of Industry, our distinguished speakers and moderators, institutional partners, and the industrial community whose active engagement made this dialogue both substantive and forward-looking. Special appreciation to Matelec for its strong support and continued commitment to advancing industrial competitiveness and alignment with international standards.
