Globul with its retail partner Germanos will participate in in the ‘Earth Hour’ event to be held between 8.30 pm and 9.30 pm on March 26.

Earth Hour is a global event organized by WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature, also known as World Wildlife Fund) and is held on the last Saturday of March annually, asking households and businesses to turn off their non-essential lights and other electrical appliances for one hour to raise awareness towards the need to take action on climate change.

In 2011, Globul and Germanos will be Earth Hour participants and ambassadors for the third year in a row. The two companies will turn off the electric lighting at their office buildings, at over 230 shops as well as at their major advertising facilities in Sofia, Varna and Burgas. Only the systems providing the seamless network operation and customer service will be left online. Globul supports this global initiative as part of its long-term environmental sustainability strategy dubbed ‘Globul Green’.
