1. How to Increase Your Energy Levels in 2025?
Along with your numerous resolutions for the Year, here’s some MEDCO Energies’ tips on how you
can stay energized in 2025 and achieve all your goals:
Making little and conscious shifts to your daily routine can make a big difference in your life. By
picking the best energy, you are molding your path to live to the fullest, and embrace your true
potential.
Awalan, hydration is key to maintain high energy levels as well as stay healthy. Pairing this with a
balanced “Plat du Jour” from YALA Stop will keep your body fueled for the day ahead.
Kamen, moving regularly is a great way to recharge since it improves your mental and physical state
by releasing endorphins and increasing blood flow.
Spending time with positive and uplifting/high energy people. A drive with your friends provides you
with a much-needed break from your daily chores, which is another effective way to refuel!
Finally, to sustain your energy levels, practicing meditation and prioritizing sleep are essential since
they help calm your mind, reduce stress, and enhance your focus while driving, which are necessary
to stay refreshed and recharged. Having a clear mind and well-rested body are just what you need to
enjoy smooth rides, whether on the road or through life’s challenges.
Fill UP your life with small but impactful changes to keep your energy at 100%. It will keep you
motivated throughout your day and year, to move you forward and achieve your small and bold
goals!
2. Shift to electrical vehicles
The shift to electric vehicles is no longer a trend, it is the future of driving!
�
�
♻
As more and more
people made the conscious choice to go electric in Lebanon, and transitioned to EV cars, such as
Yoyo city cars, which can be ordered on SouqMEDCO (www.souqmedco.com), it became clear that
it was a choice fueled by the growing awareness of the environmental benefits and long-term
sustainability it offers. Therefore, the demand for EV chargers is growing, which is why it is important
to have accessible and reliable charging stations all across the country.
MEDCO was the first company in Lebanon to introduce EV chargers in 2018 at its stations, paving
the way to a more sustainable future. Today, MEDCO is proud to have EV chargers available at 15
locations at MEDCO BCD, Dora, Unesco, Faqra, Thoum, Mar Mikhael, Taanayel, Hazmiyeh,
Solidere-Beirut Souks, ABC Ashrafieh, ABC Verdun, ABC Dbayeh, Citymall, Fahed Supervalue, and
Holiday Beach; continuing the commitment to innovation and sustainability.
EV vehicles are known to have significantly reduced CO2 emission, and have positively contributed
to a cleaner air and healthier planet. These EV cars help decrease the daily amount of pollutants
released in the air, as well as reduce noise pollution since e-Cars are much quieter than
gasoline-powered cars, making busy neighborhoods and cities more peaceful.
That is why, MEDCO is proud to announce our latest fast EV Charger installation at MEDCO Mar
Mikhael station, a neighborhood known for its liveliness and vibrant energy!
Whether you are cruising, or exploring the dynamic streets of Mar Mikhael, you can now
conveniently recharge your electric vehicle at our station, and can at the same time run errands or
grab snacks at YALA Stop while you wait.
MEDCO is proud to be the leader in e-mobility towards a more sustainable and greener Lebanon.

4. Baabda's Time to Shine: “The Light up Baabda Project"
Nawwarit Baabda! After bringing light to the streets of Beirut, it is now Baabda's turn to shine.
MEDCO's power has arrived in Baabda following the successful illumination of 150 streets in
iconic neighborhoods like Bliss and Ain Mreisseh, as well as key hospital areas. With the
Rebirth Beirut initiative, we successfully transformed our beloved city, Beirut, from darkness to
light, fostering life, security, and safety.
Building on this momentum, MEDCO is pursuing its powerful CSR Mission with "Ta3o Ndawé
Baabda”- Let’s light up Baabda- Project, a pioneering effort to spread positivity across the
Baabda region, symbolizing new beginnings. MEDCO cooperated with the amazing NGO Afaal
and the Baabda Municipality to illuminate six streets as a start, bringing a renewed sense of
safety to all the community. This collaboration not only enhances the area's visual appeal but
also promotes sustainability through energy-efficient LED lighting.
This project is more than mere lighting, it stands as a beacon of hope, embodying MEDCO's
commitment to its community and the well-being and prosperity of the Lebanese people. It
reminds us that each of us has a role to play in expressing our love to our country, this is called
true patriotism.
Yalla, let's continue to light the way together! As we say, "Dawwayna w Mkamlin La2ano El
3atme Ma Betlba2lna”, we will keep working towards a brighter tomorrow, and indeed, a brighter
M7ata is the one we all strive to reach.
5. MEDCO M7attit el Tekreem with the Chaje3a Award
Not all heroes wear capes. At MEDCO, we had the incredible honor of recognizing 35 of our
heroes affectionately known as our "Abtals. " These brave individuals made the bold decision to
stand firm in their villages and cities in southern Lebanon during the 2024 war, while many
others sought safety elsewhere.
This courageous stand was made possible by the unwavering support of their families.
Choukran men el
❤
With hearts of steel, they put MEDCO’s values before their own safety, ensuring that essential
services continued to flow uninterrupted. Their actions exemplified not only their bravery but
also underscored MEDCO’s firm commitment to our community and customers.
Amidst the sounds of shelling, our Super Abtals relentlessly delivered petroleum products,
lubricants, and vital services to essential facilities and organizations. Their heroic contributions
filled us with immense pride.
To honor their courage, we organized the Chaje3a Award ceremony at MED7AF, the MEDCO
museum, where we presented 35 “Mercury Man” Awards. This ceremony was more than just an
event; it was a powerful celebration of patriotism and continued determination.
We wanted the Chaje3a Award to serve as a potent call to action. It stands testament to the fact
that with the right mindset, mental energy, and collective effort, we can navigate through any
storm.
What our Abtals achieved teaches us that giving up is not a choice when fueled with true
courage and determination.
Always remember that we all have a bit of hero inside us. It is time to act boldly, make a
difference, and work together to create a brighter future for our communities and beloved
country, Lebanon.

Fueling Gibran’s Legacy
Le2ouna 3a Bcharré M7atit el Sa2afé! MEDCO proudly celebrates Lebanese culture and heritage by
sponsoring the Gibran Khalil Gibran Museum. What an empowering combination: MEDCO’s Super
Lebanese Centennial Energy, Gibran’s enduring Inspiration, and the lively Community of Bcharré.
In light of the agreement signed with the Gibran National Committee on Tuesday, February 18th, at
Gibran Khalil Gibran’s Garden in the United Nations’ premises at Riad el Solh, MEDCO is paving the
way for the future generation to discover and understand Gibran’s profound connection to his roots,
which inspired his famous saying, "If Lebanon was not my country, I would have chosen it to be,"
proudly engraved today on one of our tanks in our Terminal at Dora.
Also, as a tribute to his timeless wisdom and the resilience of the Lebanese people after the
devastating events of August 4, 2020, we inscribed another of his powerful sayings on one of our
tanks: “Out of suffering have emerged the strongest Souls; the most massive Characters are seared
with scars.”
Beyond honoring Gibran’s words, we are committed to ensuring that his legacy continues to inspire
future generations. With MEDCO providing transportation fuel to the Gibran Museum in his
hometown and covering entry fees, young people, especially students, will experience Gibran’s
profound legacy firsthand. They will be greeted by the glowing beauty of the museum nestled in the
breathtaking Lebanese mountains that Gibran so often celebrated in his writings and paintings.
Our dedication also extends to empowering the Gibran National Committee and fueling the museum
itself, ensuring efficiency in the management of its energy consumption, and reducing its carbon
footprint by engaging in sustainable development. This will also make sure the museum remains a
vibrant destination where Gibran’s everlasting works continue to inspire and resonate.
The Gibran Khalil Gibran Museum isn’t just a cultural landmark; it’s a powerful symbol of Lebanese
identity and pride. Its’s a gateway for young minds to connect with their heritage, which resonates
with universal themes of Love, Unity, and Strength.
By fostering this connection, we ensure that future generations will not only discover but also live
with Gibran’s enduring wisdom, a pillar of our rich culture that illuminates their way forward in an
ever-changing world.
So, let’s diffuse and fuel Lebanese heritage together! Natrinkon bi med7af Gibran!
8. MEDCO & ALBA Power up for a Stylish Transformation
Our next station stop is a collaboration full of ta2a and creativity to highlight and empower
Lebanese rising talents. MEDCO chose the School of Design, ALBA at the Balamand University,
the hub of innovation, to revamp its forecourt uniforms. The purpose was to give the floor to
imagination and offer our Pump Attendants a new MEDlook.
Six students of ALBA’s School of Design participated in the competition where they showcased
their skills by designing a well-deserved superhero uniform, as per the brief, for our MEDCOers
frontliners.
Joy Wakim, a gifted artist, crafted the winning design. Inspired by the iconic superhero
Goldorak, Joy created a unique blend of samurai-style pants paired with a stylish bomber jacket,
incorporating plenty of "chaddeh" throughout the uniform to match our Latin Lebanese MEDCO
language, infused with a distinctly Lebanese graphism reflecting our patriotic Centennial
company.
Why Goldorak? Also known as Grendizer, this character holds particular significance having
emerged with our MEDCOers. They both represent steadfastness and dedication, much like our
brave MEDCOers, who are unwavering in their mission to keep Lebanon fueled and running
despite hardships.
What made the uniform even more special, was our young designer’s personal touch, her very
own signature proudly adorning it.
Joy Wakim, Sophomore, used MEDCO’s color codes: Royal Blue to service our honorable
guests, Yellow for the warm Mediterranean Sun and Red for the Passion for what we do. Behind
its symbolic meaning, this new uniform demonstrates our commitment to delivering exceptional
service and treating every Guest like a VIP, from the moment they interact with our
sharp-looking MEDCOers.
Congrats to Joy (1st runner up), Lea Hajj (2nd) and Ivanah Rbeiz (3rd), winning the competition,
notoriety, recognition and complimentary Gasoline to kick-off their promising professional
journey ahead of them.
We extend our gratitude to the team at ALBA University, particularly Star and God-Father of the
School of Design Rabih Keyrouz, Dean Dr. Fadlo Dagher and Director Eric Richter for their
enthusiasm and precious collaboration on this relooking project.
This creation has been celebrated by the young students of ALBA who showcased it in a vibrant
fashion show bursting with energy!
Through this initiative, we celebrate the brilliance of young Lebanese talents, the essential
Mission of our frontliners, and the rich culture that defines MEDCO’s proud legacy. Lebanon will
always remain Ard el Ebda3 w El Feker. Don’t you agree?

service stations and the wheels of our trucks, women are at the forefront of our mission.
In a field traditionally dominated by men, our remarkable women are stepping up, taking on
leadership roles and shattering stereotypes.
Meet Cynthia, Nathalie, and Marianne, shining examples of what’s possible when women are
empowered OR empower themselves! Each of them exemplifies the truth that ambition knows
no gender. We are also especially proud to have Linda, the only female truck driver in Lebanon,
as part of our MEDCO family.
Advocating for gender equality is integral to our vision for healthy growth.
It takes 2 to tango! Women and Men work hand in hand towards doubling the objective of a
prosperous and modern Lebanon.
11. MEDCO x ESIB: Empowering Youth for a Cleaner Future.
MEDCO fuels innovation and empowers the passionate and innovative Chemical and
Petrochemical Engineering students from ESIB-USJ. Together, we are embarking on a
pioneering initiative: Sustainable Water Management for Car Wash Stations at Service Stations.
This project goes beyond merely improving car wash efficiency, it aims to redefine the future of
the service station industry while steering Lebanon toward a more sustainable tomorrow.
This collaboration is a testament to our belief in the potential of youth-driven innovation. In this
initiative, the ESIB-USJ students will explore, design, and propose advanced solutions for
wastewater treatment and reuse, applying innovative approaches to enhance efficiency and
environmental performance at MEDCO service stations.

Development Goals (SDGs).
We are talking about: -SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation. Every drop counts! The initiative aims to ensure that water
is managed carefully and sustainably. - SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure. Innovation is essential for a cleaner tomorrow,
and we are committed to fostering it. - SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production. Promoting sustainability in everyday
practices is vital, and our initiative is designed to reflect that commitment.
MEDCO takes concrete steps daily toward achieving specific SDGs as well as empowering the
future leaders of sustainability. We aim to equip these young innovators with the skills and
experience necessary to prioritize sustainability in their careers.
In particular, we would like to recognize the outstanding dedication and ingenuity of USJ
students, Cyrill Bassil, Myriam Fares, Lea Sarkis and their advisor Ms. Renalda El Samra. Their
hard work, innovative thinking, and commitment to sustainability are the driving forces behind
this initiative. By applying their expertise and creativity, they are developing practical solutions
that will have a lasting impact on water conservation and environmental responsibility.
At MEDCO we’re not just imagining a better world, we’re building it! Deyman m7atit boukra a7la!
12. MEDCO x El Maestro Filling Good
Thanks to your generous contributions of MEDCOins to the El Maestro Group on the MEDCO

warmth, dignity, and, most importantly, solidarity for those enduring the harshest winters at
altitudes reaching 1,800 meters.
At Kfardebian Public School, classrooms that were once frozen and uncomfortable are now
warm and welcoming. No more shivering through lessons, students can now fully engage in
their studies in a cozy environment. Your support has rekindled the joy of learning.
At the Elderly Home in Hboub, Jbeil, those who have dedicated their lives to serving their
families, communities, and country no longer face the cold alone.
Traveling north to Tannourine Public Hospital, we reconfirmed that warmth is a necessity not a
luxury.
This initiative falls under the centennial commitment of MEDCO to its corporate social
responsibility. "Dafayna ness w zara3na ebtisamet."
Thank you for embracing this opportunity with us to help out and make a real difference. And

14. MEDCO x Roger Feghali
�
�
MEDCO is the proud sponsor of Roger Feghali, the Lebanese rally legend whose
record-breaking wins and unmatched expertise have made him the undisputed king of the
tracks in Lebanon and the region. This collaboration is about shared values and a common
drive for top-tier performance.
The relationship between MEDCO and Roger Feghali is a true symbiosis. Both are pioneers in
their fields, having earned their reputations through consistency, precision, and performance
under pressure. MEDCO believes in fueling performance and its decision to stand behind Roger
was clear: both aligned in the pursuit of quality, high standards, and proven expertise.
That mindset lives in the very mechanics of Roger’s car. To stay ahead in a sport defined by
split-second decisions and unforgiving terrain, he needs trusted performance from every
component of the engine.
That is why Roger’s car runs on Havoline CALTEX Lubricants, exclusively distributed by
MEDCO in Lebanon. On race day, his engine faces extreme acceleration, sudden braking,
sharp cornering, and unpredictable course conditions. In those moments, reliability is
everything, that is exactly where Havoline CALTEX steps in. CALTEX Havoline lubricants
protect against wear and tear, maintain thermal stability, and keep the engine cooler and cleaner
for a longer time. It is all about the ability to sustain engine power and efficiency under high
stress to reduce mechanical issues, and increase podium finishes.
Roger Feghali chooses MEDCO & CALTEX Havoline lubricants for the same reason: they
deliver. MEDCO fuels the engines of champions, and champions, in turn, rely on MEDCO to
help them perform at their highest level.

working hand in hand to protect the environment, support innovation, and make EV adoption
smoother and easier for everyone. Aligned with the spirit of Earth Month, this initiative directly
supports United Nations SDG 13: Climate Action, by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and
encouraging environmentally friendly transportation across Lebanon.
This collaboration is about building a better tomorrow, where sustainable transportation
becomes the new standard while Lebanon takes bold steps toward a cleaner, greener future.
17. MEDCO x Beirut Marathon
At MEDCO, we believe in the power of ta2a, all forms of it propelling us forward. That’s why we
support the Beirut Marathon for the past 21 years, the kind of national event that brings together
thousands of runners, volunteers, and supporters who share the same passion for movement,
wellbeing, and love for Lebanon.

and a "Spin the Wheel" game to reward participants with special surprises.
Additionally, at the gathering area, MEDCO will host a Yala Stop stand offering water, fresh
fruits, and coffee, the little things that make a big difference after crossing the finish line.
For MEDCO, being part of an event that highlights the importance of movement, community,
and determination embodies our little Blue Culture Book values. Here’s to 21 years of running,
and to many more miles of shared energy, hope, and connection. Proud to be moving
mountains and moving people from one station to another together!
18. MEDCO Academy: Leadership Program
At MEDCO, we believe leadership is earned through education, respect, passion, perseverance,
and the willingness to grow. Our MEDCOers recognized talents, embarked on this journey
through the MEDCO Academy - Leadership Program, where they faced challenges, stepped
outside their comfort zones, and committed to their growth. Over several months, they
transformed into stronger, more flexible leaders, ready to lead with purpose, for themselves, for
their teams and for the communities they serve. On April 16th, we proudly celebrated the
graduation of our MEDCOers from the Academy Leadership Program.
The graduation ceremony held at MED7AF the MEDCO Museum, featured powerful speeches.
Mr. Raymond Chammas, Chairman of MEDCO, reminded the graduates of the trust placed in
them, stating:
"Your leaders chose you to become the next leaders in your own departments."
This selection was a recognition of their potential and their ability to carry MEDCO’s values into
the future.
Mrs. Michele Chammas Garzouzi, Chief Innovation Officer of MEDCO, shared an inspiring
vision for their next steps, saying:
"You are going to become leaders and superstars. You will mentor your teams, nurture those
who are eager to learn, cooperate and become bridge builders”, insisting on the fact that
leadership is also about lifting others as you rise.
Mr. Raymond El Khoury, founder and managing director of the Leadership and Management
Academy, reinforced the broader importance of their growth:

19. Liters Plus Fuel Management System Fulfills!
At MEDCO, we’re proud to be pioneers in energy transition in Lebanon, with real, accessible
solutions for drivers across the country.
One innovation that truly stands out is our Liters Plus card, a unified payment solution that
supports both fuel and e-mobility needs.
With the Liters Plus card, Members can refuel their vehicles with fuel, or recharge their electric
cars at our growing network of fast EV charging stations strategically located across Lebanon,
and even recharge themselves with a coffee or snack at Yala Stop Super Dikkeneh while on the
move. The Liters Plus card is a complete mobility companion.
This all-in-one card is a reflection of our commitment to sustainable transport and supports our
journey towards achieving SDG 7: affordable and clean energy. As the first company in Lebanon
to install EV chargers in 2018, we’ve invested in infrastructure to make the shift to electric
mobility smoother and more practical. Liters Plus supports this vision by offering customers the
convenience, data analytics and full control tools they need, whether they drive fuel-powered
cars, electric vehicles, or a mix of both.
Our goal is to make the EV transition easier and less complex for everyone. Liters Plus is part of
a broader mission at MEDCO: to support Lebanon in moving toward cleaner energy and smarter
mobility without compromising on service, simplicity, or reliability.
20. How CALTEX Havoline Supports a more Sustainable Future
When we think about sustainability; solar panels, electric vehicles, and recycling bins often
come to mind. However, one crucial element that is frequently overlooked is engine oil.
At MEDCO, we reinforce our commitment to sustainability and durability with CALTEX Havoline
Engine oils, that blend high performance with environmental consciousness. Engine oils play a
significant role in reducing environmental impact when used and managed responsibly.
What exactly makes CALTEX Havoline more sustainable? It comes down to these key factors: - Havoline engine oils, with their advanced formula, help maintain cleanliness and reduce
friction, leading to improved fuel economy, less strain on the engine, and lower CO₂ emissions
over time. - Havoline engine oils last longer, thus fewer oil changes, and fewer liters of used oil that need
to be disposed of. - Using a right engine oil, like Havoline, not only benefits your car’s performance but also
extends its lifespan. A longer-lasting vehicle means less demand for new cars, and reduces the
overall environmental impact of manufacturing and waste. - Used oil, improperly disposed of, can harm both water and soil. MEDCO ensures safe
collection and disposal of used oil across all our service stations, while also providing recycling
bins for used oil empty packages.
By choosing Havoline, you can make conscious decisions to improve the environmental
footprint of the car you already own.
At MEDCO, we believe in creating a more sustainable future, one simple decision at a time.
We’re proud to champion Quality like CALTEX Havoline for the past 35 years and select for you
the right Lubricant pick among our Havoline large family.

22. ISO
We are proud to announce that MEDCO is now officially ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 certified:
two internationally recognized standards that mark a significant step forward in our commitment
to sustainable and responsible operations, with people and planet in focus.
ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) reinforces our drive toward reducing our
environmental footprint and embedding sustainability into every function. It reflects our
dedication to continuously improving how we manage resources, reduce waste, and offer
environmentally conscious solutions to customers we call “Mina w Fina Members” across
Lebanon.
With ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety Management System), we are advancing the
safety and well-being of every person at MEDCO. This standard provides a clear framework for
strengthening occupational health and safety across our sites, departments, and partnerships.
The result is more than regulatory compliance, it's a safer, more resilient work culture where
people come first.
Together with our existing ISO 9001, these certifications lay the groundwork for a robust
Integrated Management System (IMS), one that brings together quality, environmental, and
safety performance under a single, streamlined framework. This unified approach will help us
improve operational efficiency, elevate our sustainability impact, and strengthen the way we
deliver value to both Mina w Fina members and MEDCOers.
These certifications are a reflection of our values in action, shaping a stronger, safer, and more
sustainable future for all.
Mabrouk to every team member who made this possible.
Certified, committed, just getting started and moving forward.
23. MEDCO x GNC
As a celebration of Gibran Khalil Gibran Day, MEDCO is proud to highlight a meaningful cultural
initiative in collaboration with the Gibran National Committee.
Over the past few months, students from many different schools across Lebanon visited the
Gibran Museum in Bsharri, immersing themselves in the life and legacy of one of Lebanon’s
greatest thinkers and artists.
The trip left a lasting impression on the students as they explored the life and legacy of Gibran
Khalil Gibran up close, discovering his original paintings, manuscripts, and personal belongings.
The visit ended on a touching note at the small room known as the Hermitage, where Gibran
Khalil Gibran is laid to rest.
As part of our ongoing commitment to education and culture, MEDCO covered both the fuel for
transportation and the entrance fees for all participating students. Through this initiative, we aim
to give students across Lebanon the opportunity to connect with Gibran’s inspiring legacy,
nurturing future generations while keeping our rich Lebanese heritage alive.
We are excited for the journey ahead, and look forward to more students being welcomed at the
Gibran Museum as this cultural adventure unfolds.

26. Daw Cher3ak Initiative
As part of the “Let’s Light Up Our Community”/”Dawe Cher3ak” initiative, MEDCO in
collaboration with Rebirth Beirut, has been bringing light and life back to Beirut’s streets.
To date, more than 155 streets across Lebanon have been lit up, bringing back vitality to the city
and its citizens. It is a powerful step toward revitalizing public spaces and restoring hope and
energy to Beirut, symbolizing unity, resilience, and community spirit.
The iconic street of Hamra has now been lit up, marking another milestone in the initiative’s
journey to revive Beirut’s most beloved neighborhoods. This significant achievement was
celebrated during a special lighting ceremony held on Wednesday, June 18th, in the heart of
Hamra.
During the ceremony, MEDCO’s CIO, Mrs. Michele Chammas Garzouzi, emphasized that
“Hamra Street was the heartbeat of the capital, and that the initiative to light it up again was an
emblematic step toward reviving its spirit and restoring the energy that once defined one of
Beirut’s most vibrant streets. We have ONE Country and we want it bright and safe. MEDCO
relentlessly works to serve Lebanon and supply it with essential energies.”
In addition to its civic impact, the initiative places a strong emphasis on sustainability and
environmental responsibility. By replacing sodium lamps with modern, energy-efficient LED
lights, the project significantly reduces energy consumption. This shift brightens Beirut’s streets
but also paves the way for a greener, more sustainable future for all.
“Let’s Light Up our Community/Dawe Cher3ak” is a testament to the Power and Energy of a
responsible and patriotic Private Sector.
Together, let’s keep reviving the city, la2ano el 3atme ma btelba2lna!
27. Dawe Cher3a Initiative
On July 9, 2025, MEDCO, in collaboration with Rebirth Beirut, lit up Sami El Solh Avenue and
Mathaf Street as part of our ongoing “Let’s Light Up Our Community” / “Dawe Cher3ak” project.
By reconnecting Beirut’s neighborhoods with light, and driven by our love for Lebanon and its
people, we’re helping communities feel safer, bringing neighbors together, and making
neighborhoods more welcoming. Every street we illuminate brings back a sense of comfort and
belonging, uplifts daily life, and boosts morale, bringing renewed energy and a sense of
positivity to the neighborhoods people call home.
After Hamra Main street, Sami El Solh was the next chapter in this journey of hope and
restoration, and there is still much more to come.
Let’s keep moving forward, la2ano el 3atme ma btelba2lna.

28. MEDCO x GNC
We are thrilled to share an update on MEDCO’s cultural collaboration with the Gibran National
Committee, a project designed to promote cultural heritage and pride among Lebanon’s youth.
Together, we’ve worked to create opportunities for students across the country to discover,
appreciate, and connect with their cultural identity. Through visits to the Gibran Museum in
Bsharré, students are introduced to an important historical site alongside the enduring legacy of
Gibran Khalil Gibran, a Lebanese icon whose ideas, words, and art continue to resonate across
generations.
Our mission as MEDCO’s M7atit el Sa2afé has been to guarantee free transportation of school
buses from wherever all the way to Bsharre, offer entry tickets to students and to engage the
next generation to learn more about their roots and the profound contributions of the Lebanese
artist.
Since our collaboration started in February 2025, 19 schools from many regions across
Lebanon have participated, with a total of 1,607 students visiting the museum!
Each visit includes a tour of the exhibition that brings Gibran Khalil Gibran’s legacy to life in
ways that are both engaging and accessible.
We are proud of the progress made so far, and even more excited about what lies ahead.
MEDCO and the Gibran National Committee remain committed to reaching more students
across Lebanon, empowering the next generation to carry forward the spirit and vision of Gibran
Khalil Gibran.

29. MEDCO x Joy Wakim (Sayf Edition)
Following the success of the winter forecourt uniform designed by the talented Joy Wakim, the
soon to be Fashion Designer, 3rd year ALBA School of Design, MEDCO is proud to reveal the
brand new rabih-sayf 2025 Collection, also designed by Joy. This lighter, refreshed version
carries the same strong MEDCO identity to the warmer season.
While the original design was inspired by the strength and style of a superhero, this new edition
adapts Joy’s creative vision to hot seasons’ demands. The result? A breathable, comfortable,
and dynamic forecourt dress code that keeps our MEDCOers looking sharp and feeling cool,
without compromising on the visual aesthetic.
The signature elements remain: MEDCO’s iconic colors, Blue, Yellow, and Red, the distinctive
symbols, and a strong sense of pride reflected through Lebanese graphism and the playful
“chaddehs.” Now with shorter sleeves, ventilated fabric, and improved functionality, the uniform
is fully tailored for Lebanon’s sunny days, because heroes need to feel as good as they look.
Once again, this project reflects our commitment to empowering young Lebanese talents, and to
celebrating the essential role of our MEDCOers, always at your service, and now, sayfiyyé

30. CALTEX Havoline
At MEDCO, delivering top-tier quality and reliability is at the heart of everything we do since
1910, especially when it comes to the products we offer to our motorists. That’s why CALTEX
Havoline engine oils have always been our trusted choice for lubricants. But what exactly makes
Havoline stand out? The answer lies in its advanced science and technology designed to
protect and optimize engine performance.
Havoline’s proprietary Deposit Shield Technology is a game-changer. It actively prevents
harmful deposits and residue formed inside engines when the oil breaks down due to heat,
oxidation, or contamination, keeping them cleaner and running smoother for longer. This
technology reduces engine wear and enhances fuel efficiency, two crucial factors that translate
directly into cost savings and longer engine life.
CALTEX Havoline oils incorporate additives that protect engines under extreme temperatures
and harsh driving conditions, whether on the highway or in traffic. Its synthetic and synthetic
blend oils deliver superior oil flow, meaning the oil flows optimally to lubricate every part of the
engine, reducing friction and heat buildup.
At MEDCO, we believe in providing products backed by science and proven performance. Using
Havoline ensures our motorists’ vehicles get the premium care they deserve, supporting
smoother drives, reduced emissions, and fewer maintenance issues. MEDCO/CALTEX’s
purpose is to protect what moves you.
31. Training ISO
Sustainability is core to MEDCO’s culture for the past 115 years. ISO 14001 and ISO 45001
certified, MEDCO is proud to reflect on the important steps taken along the way to strengthen
awareness and alignment across our network.
Over the past few months, we held at MEDCO Academy, a series of ISO awareness sessions
for all company-owned station managers and our valued MEDCO dealers. Delivered in groups
across more than 10 sessions, these training sessions were an opportunity to dive into what
ISO 14001 and ISO 45001 really mean for us on the ground.
Beyond awareness, the training fostered open discussions, strengthened shared knowledge,
and promoted a unified culture of HSE responsibility and continuous improvement across all
operational levels.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated and contributed to this journey.
32. MEDCO x Idealz: Ma3an Baytak Reb7an

This collaboration brings together energy, purpose, and rewards that speak directly to the
everyday needs of Lebanese communities. It reflects the community centric vision of MEDCO in
delivering meaningful campaigns that celebrate life’s most important moments empowering the
active population holding up the economy.

your lives.” As always, MEDCO stands for: supporting households, empowering communities,

35. MEDCO x Fabriano: Voici Venu le Temps des Super-Héros
MEDCO is the main sponsor of Fabriano’s annual drawing competition. Within the scope of its
“Na2le Fannieh” (Art Delivery) started with Katya Traboulsi drawing its famous birds on our
petroleum trucks, MEDCO and Fabriano chose the superheroes’ theme “Voici venu le temps
des super-héros”.
This exciting initiative aligns with MEDCO’s commitment to nurturing culture, art, creativity,
innovation, sustainability and civic sense, key values that shape who we are.
As part of the theme, students were invited to reimagine the Mercury Man, MEDCO’s iconic
character, as a modern-day superhero, a protector of Lebanon through environmental action
and heroic achievements.
To bring this theme to life, MEDCO visited 9 schools (https://jmp.sh/VmxlEX9x) across Lebanon,
and introduced students from ages 9 to 13, to the Mercury Man and the mission behind him.
Their energy, curiosity and thoughtful questions showed just how much our heroic character
resonated with them, sparking imagination and excitement across the audience.
Through this initiative, MEDCO continues to empower young minds to dream big, think critically
and act responsibly toward the planet. By encouraging artistic expression with purpose, we’re
helping shape a more conscious, creative, patriotic and sustainable future for Lebanon.
We can’t wait to see how each young artist will imagine Mercury Man in their own unique way
and discover what our next generation aspires for achieving.
36. MEDCO x AUDI
In the relentless quest for sustainability, MEDCO, the e-mobility Leader, was proud to be part of

37.SDG Day Advanced Workshop at MEDCO
With sustainability at the core of MEDCO’s values, two advanced SDG training sessions were
organized for our MEDCOers in collaboration with the UN Global Compact Network Lebanon.
The session aimed to reinforce and deepen engagement with the United Nations Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) and the role we all play in contributing to fulfill our goals.
They also spotlighted the specific SDGs we prioritize in our work and the impact behind our
ongoing initiatives.
A big thank you to UN Global Compact representatives Mrs. Deenah Fakhoury, Executive
Director of the local network, and Mrs. Myrna Merhej, Participant Engagement Manager, for
passionately leading the sessions and sharing valuable insights and inspiration with our team.
They introduced the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, a framework adopted by
companies as part of their sustainability strategies, covering four key areas: human rights, labor,
environment, and anti-corruption. The sessions also revisited the Sustainable Development
Goals, a global blueprint for addressing pressing challenges and achieving a more sustainable
future, and explained the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda: a collective plan adopted by all UN
member states to promote sustainable development for people and the planet by 2030.
During the sessions, we highlighted the key SDGs MEDCO focuses on, adopting SDG 5
(Gender Equality), SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and
Infrastructure), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and SDG 13 (Climate Action).
To actively engage participants, MEDCOers were divided into groups based on each SDG and
challenged with case studies to analyze and discuss. Each group then tackled a final question,
proposing practical solutions to help MEDCO advance these goals and identifying actionable
next steps. The three most impactful ideas will be developed and implemented at MEDCO in the
near future.
These sessions successfully fostered a deeper understanding and engagement among
MEDCOers and reinforced the company’s commitment to embedding these global goals into
everyday practices. By involving employees directly in problem-solving and solution-building,
MEDCO is empowering its team to contribute meaningfully to its sustainability journey. This
collaborative effort not only aligns with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda but also positions
MEDCO as a responsible leader dedicated to creating lasting, positive impact for both the
environment and society.
38. MEDCO x CCCL
CAR WASH SAVES LIVES
On September 19th, MEDCO organized an initiative with the Children's Cancer Center of

wash revenues on that day contributed directly to CCCL, supporting children in their courageous
fight against cancer.
For MEDCO, this initiative reflects our ongoing commitment to our community. We believe our
role goes beyond providing energy, it is about standing by people, fueling positive change, and
turning everyday actions into opportunities to give back.

Renewable Energies, Robert Balech, at the Metropolitan Hotel. He shared insights on how
e-MEDCO is driving the adoption of clean energy and sustainable mobility solutions across the
country, particularly through the implementation of an extensive EV charger network. As he
stated during his talk:
"The advantages of installing EV chargers are clear: accessible infrastructure, peace of mind for
end users who no longer need to worry about finding a charger and a sustainable network that
supports Lebanon’s green future."
Leader in e-mobility, e-MEDCO reinforced its ongoing commitment to shaping a cleaner, more
sustainable future for Lebanon.

service station will be donated to the Lebanese Breast Cancer Foundation, turning every stop
into a contribution toward awareness and care.
All day long, drivers across Lebanon will come together to make a difference, proving that even
everyday actions, like refueling, can create real impact.

vehicles, it moves people, communities and causes that matter.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who will join hands and tanks to make Pink October shine a
little brighter.
