A nation’s future is shaped by its youth. Rooted in our Lebanese heritage and our commitment to education, Rodolphe Saadé, CEO of the CMA CGM Group, envisioned the Group’s involvement in supporting Lebanese students by offering them the chance to pursue exceptional learning experiences, both in Lebanon and abroad. 

In Lebanon, the CMA CGM Group is deeply engaged in economic, cultural and social initiatives. It contributes to the educational system, equipping Lebanese youth with quality degrees. Moreover, through the CMA CGM Foundation, the Group addresses the urgent needs of vulnerable populations. 

As part of its commitment to the Lebanese youth, the CMA CGM Group launched the “CMA CGM Excellence Fund for Lebanon” in 2021, a significant program offering university scholarships, mentorship, and long-term support. Recipients are selected by universities based on various criteria, including academic excellence and socioeconomic need. The program aims to foster the development of future Lebanese leaders who, upon graduating from prestigious universities in Lebanon or abroad, can bring their experiences to companies like the CMA CGM Group, contributing to their country’s development. 

For many years, CMA CGM has enthusiastically partnered with USJ to support and enhance its educational excellence. Our collaboration with Fondation USJ has deepened, driven by the common goal of empowering Lebanese youth and benefiting Lebanon as a whole. 

Furthermore, the exceptional commitment to academic excellence and the humanistic values of Saint Joseph University of Beirut and Fondation USJ reflect their dedication to the future of Lebanese youth, mirroring the determination and values of the CMA CGM Group, particularly in Lebanon. We wish all the recipients of the “CMA CGM Excellence Fund for Lebanon” the very best. 

We have strong faith in your ability to excel, and your role in shaping the country’s future and revival is indispensable. Together, we share a common goal of fostering human development and social welfare, and you are always encouraged to contribute to these efforts within our Group.
