HSBC held a concert to raise awareness on the the environment in Lebanon especially the problems of climate change. The bank has many projects in Lebanon and the Middle East to raise awareness and provide solutions to the unrecognized problems of the climate in our region.

The concert featured Magida Al Roumi, the lovely world renowned Lebanese singer, who never seem to disappoint a crowd. Graceful, elegant with a soprano voice, Al Roumi performed with her orchestra and shared a dance with Lebanese dancers of traditional choreography. As  the UN Goodwill Ambassador, Al Roumi is known and respected for her humanitarian efforts and work.

Many famous Lebanese faces attended the event including our Minister of Interior Ziad Baroud who is usually up front in such events. Francis Sullivan, who is HSBC Holding’s adviser on the environment in the Group’s Corporate Sustainability department, was a guest speaker at the concert. The concert highlighted “HSBC Climate Partnership” which is a groundbreaking, five-year partnership between HSBC and The Climate Group, Earthwatch Institute, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute and WWF.

Go Greener Lebanon!
