Earth Hour is held every year on the last Saturday of March and this year HSBC Malta will be joined by supporters of the initiative from more than 190 countries and territories.
HSBC Bank Malta will once again join other HSBC Group sites around the world to mark Earth Hour.
All lights at the HSBC Malta Operations Centre in Qormi, its Head Office in Valletta and the HSBC Global Services Contact Centre in Swatar will be switched off for an hour, between 8:30pm and 9:30pm on Saturday 25th March.
HSBC has been a firm and active supporter of the Earth Hour movement since its inception in 2009. Earth hour is a symbolic event to show our collective support for the planet and to raise awareness of the environmental issues affecting it.
Earth Hour is held every year on the last Saturday of March and this year HSBC Malta will be joined by supporters of the initiative from more than 190 countries and territories.
Earth hour serves as an important reminder that we should all think twice about unsustainable consumption practices and that we should do our part to bringing about positive change.
The theme of this year’s Earth Hour is #BiggestHourForEarth, and in addition to switching the lights off at HSBC buildings, the bank will also be encouraging its employees and the public to switch off at the same time and spend an hour doing something positive for the planet.
Whether its picking up litter at a public park or cooking a more sustainable meal, there is always something we can do to help.
Simon Vaughan Johnson, CEO of HSBC Bank Malta, said: “As a responsible corporate entity, HSBC Malta recognises the importance of taking action on climate change. We are proud to join Earth Week and reaffirm our commitment to promoting sustainable practices that will benefit our environment, our communities and our economy.”
