JAKARTA – Korindo Group was once again involved in mass movement Earth Hour to boost employee awareness of the importance of real actions in facing climate change.
One hour of lights off allows everyone to reflect on their carbon footprint and encourages a more eco-friendly lifestyle.
“Korindo Group has made consistent efforts to curtail carbon emissions by participating annually in Earth Hour. We celebrate this [event] in all our offices with PT Bimaruna Jaya as the central point,” said Korindo Group’s environment coordinator Adya Pradhana.
On Saturday (3/23), workers were asked to switch off to support Earth and mitigate global warming effects.
This year’s celebration took form as a contest, where head office staff joined from their own homes.
Lights and/or appliances must be off from 08.30 to 09.30 PM local time. Contestants were urged to record electric meter numbers before and after the shutdown.
“Black-out” movements were also seen around the world. Earth Hour calls on the need for global solidarity in handling climate crises. The international campaign, which went by the theme “Give an Hour for Earth – Biggest Hour for Earth” this year, was adapted by Earth Hour Indonesia into “The Biggest Moment for the Earth”. (PR)
