Globe Telecom commits to WWF Earth Hour 2014

Leading telecommunications company Globe Telecom furthers its commitment in helping mitigate the impact of climate change by supporting Earth Hour 2014 on March 29 from 8:30-9:30 pm.

               

Earth Hour is a global initiative of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) to show how individuals, communities, businesses, and governments can address the threat of global warming by working as one.

               

Supported by nearly two billion individuals globally and by more than 18 million Filipinos, the Earth Hour campaign is the largest voluntary movement for the planet.  This year’s theme is “Earth Hour Blue, Use your Power to make change a reality.”

“Globe Telecom is not only committed to reducing its own environmental impact, but also to promote sustainable lifestyle. It is our hope that through Earth Hour we will be able to engage our employees and subscribers to start living a sustainable lifestyle even beyond Earth Hour,” said Fernando Esguerra, OIC, Corporate Social Responsibility.

Globe and its employees pledge to join the global initiative by switching off lights in major offices and LED boards, and their homes.

A participant of Earth Hour for the past years, Globe continues to comply with environmental regulations while incorporating solutions that mitigate climate change such as reducing carbon emissions via products and solutions that will enable a low-carbon economy.  It is also on the lookout for other areas where it could make a difference in following the path towards sustainable development.
