Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry participates in global Earth Hour campaign

The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry recently participated in the global Earth Hour campaign by turning off its lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. on March 25.
 
This is the 10th consecutive year that the Dubai Chamber has participated in the global campaign. The Dubai Chamber said it was supported in the endeavor by global organizations, public and private sectors and Dubai authorities.

The campaign was created to raise awareness about climate change and showcase the importance of saving energy and protecting the Earth for future generations.
 
“The chamber’s support to Earth Hour is part of our corporate social responsibility efforts as the organization believes in preserving the environment while promoting sustainable practices to make our city a better place to work and live,” Essa Al Zaabi, senior vice-president of the institutional support sector at Dubai Chamber, said. “Also, through this campaign we are able to encourage and inspire our staff members and the wider business community to participate in Earth Hour and adopt measures to conserve energy throughout the year.”
