“Earth Hour” was introduced by World Wide Fund For Nature (WWF) to encourage governmental organizations, business corporations and citizens worldwide to switch off lights for an hour usually on the last Saturday in March every year to combat climate change. Last year, more than 180 countries and territories took part in the movement. In Hong Kong, over 3,000 companies or institutions and nearly 280 schools joined the event, and more than 3,800 pledges were signed on an individual basis. Many famous landmark buildings in Hong Kong also took part in this collective lights-out event.

Cinda International supports this far-reaching movement every year. We switched off the lights in the office from 8:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, 28 March 2020 and encouraged our staff members to switch off the lights at home during the specified time and make better use of resources with family and friends so as to save the planet.

Moreover, Cinda International organized a “Dress Black Day” on 27 March 2020 (the day before Earth Day) and invited employees to dress in black or dark colours to show support to the movement and demonstrate environmental protection spirit by individual’s participation and unity of strength inside the company. This event was greatly supported by the top management and employees who dressed in black and they took photos for memory.

Cinda International strives to put forward environmental protection and would continuously adopt various measures in energy conservation and reduction in carbon dioxide emission in order to fulfil its corporate social responsibility.
