Earth Hour participation
Annually in March, the Earth Hour event is held worldwide. Earth Hour was initiated by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) in 2007. Individuals, communities and businesses are encouraged to turn off the lights for one hour as a symbol for their commitment to the planet.
On Saturday 23 March 2024, for the 9th consecutive year, we supported this initiative by switching off non-essential lights at all our premises. Each year, we encourage our employees to participate in this action at home too.
