Gulf Bank joins Earth Hour 2009 in Kuwait
Gulf Bank took part in a global initiative to raise awareness of climate change at 8.30pm on Saturday, March 28th, when it switched off all unnecessary lights, lowered all A/C units and turned off all non-essential electrical devices throughout its offices and branches in recognition of Earth Hour. Earth Hour is an initiative led by the World Wildlife Fund and is celebrated across the world, with businesses and consumers joining in the great switch off.
Elsewhere in Kuwait, Earth Hour was also supported by the Ministry of Electricity and Water, which switched off 60% of the Arabian Gulf Street lighting, as well as the lighting at both the Kuwait and Liberation Towers.
Gulf Bank is committed to using its energy resources sensibly and in a sustainable manner, and proactively encourages its staff and suppliers to do the same.
