your concerns, needs, challenges and aspirations, and to recognize your strengths and ambitions.
We have designed the We Initiative to bring to you relevant and innovative products and services,
and to enhance your financial and networking opportunities, as well as capacity building.
As the first Bank in the region committed to women’s empowerment, BLC Bank has developed internal and
external programs to become the bank of choice and the employer of choice for Lebanese women. We are the
first Bank in the Middle East and North Africa region to be committed to the UN Women Empowerment Principles,
to be a member of the Global Banking Alliance for Women and to create a unit exclusively dedicated to supporting
and serving women.
To further contribute to this endeavor, we present we-initiative.com, a unique and innovative platform allowing you
to connect, interact and share experiences and contribute by writing articles and giving suggestions to other women.
It is by bringing together the experiences and expertise of women like you and through this collective input that
tangible improvements and opportunities will arise and result in developing your business, enhancing your career
and achieving your personal and financial goals.
This platform puts you at the center stage, it is designed to inspire you and empower you no matter who you are,
where you are and who you bank with.
