RDCL members Me. Nadim Abboud, Managing Partner at Abboud & Associates, and Me. Tatiana Hamyeh Itani, Lawyer, Legal Consultant and Partner at Abboud & Associates, took part in the seminar “The Private Sector Amid Current Challenges,” alongside RDCL Secretary General Mr. Robert Kanaan.

The event was organized by the Employers and Businessmen Department of the Lebanese Forces Party and held at the Party’s headquarters, with the presence and participation of MPs George Okais and Razi El Hage.

The seminar gathered representatives of the public sector, business owners, entrepreneurs and legal experts around one central question: how to empower the private sector as the principal driver of growth and job creation, and which reforms the recovery requires. Discussions were structured around three main themes: End-of-Service Indemnities, Priority Legal Reforms, and Smart Tax Structuring.

The discussion reaffirmed that the private sector is an essential partner in shaping Lebanon’s economic policies, and that the next phase depends on close cooperation between the legislative authority and the private sector to enact the reforms needed for a more competitive and investment-friendly business environment.

RDCL member Mr. Jean-Marc Ingea, CEO of ELCIR, represented RDCL at a meeting held at the Ministry of Industry, convened by H.E. Minister Joe Issa El Khoury to discuss the future implementation of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) in Lebanon.

The meeting gathered representatives from the public sector, international organizations, and key associations, including the EU, UNDP, UNIDO, Berytech, the Association of Lebanese Industrialists, and RDCL, to exchange views on a policy framework that could reshape how products are managed beyond their point of sale.

Key topics addressed included:
📌 Extended Producer Responsibility — an environmental policy approach requiring producers to take responsibility for the collection, sorting, and recycling of products at the end of their life cycle.
📌 Broader Market Impact — highlighting that EPR would concern not only manufacturers, but also importers, as producers are identified as the entities placing products on the market.
📌 Industry-Led Governance — discussing the role of a Producer Responsibility Organization (PRO), ideally led by industry and supervised by the government, to manage and regulate EPR implementation.
📌 Sustainable Product Design — encouraging companies to integrate recycling and end-of-life management costs into their business models.
📌 Future Compliance — addressing the growing importance of EPR requirements internationally, especially in relation to future export and packaging standards.

This meeting reflected the importance of engaging the private sector early in shaping practical, sustainable, and industry-driven environmental policies for Lebanon.
