Creating Jobs & Strengthening Local Workforce
With Lebanon’s unemployment rate at 29.6% as of 2023 (World Bank), job creation remains a national priority.

Fighting Counterfeits & Promoting Ethical
Illegal trade continues to pose challenges for Lebanon’s economy, particularly in the tobacco sector, where counterfeit products account for nearly 30% of the market (Lebanese Customs 2023). EPI is actively combatting this issue through compliance-driven distribution, ensuring that only legitimate, high-quality alternatives are accessible. Through Ezzeddine Plus and Puffzone, EPI promotes trusted brands that adhere to strict regulatory standards, supporting both consumer protection and fair trade practices. Puffzone’s growing retail network further strengthens consumer trust by ensuring accessibility to regulated and compliant tobacco products, helping to diminish the presence of counterfeit goods in the market.
