Jollibee Group brands participate annually in the Earth Hour initiative that aims to raise awareness on the need for collective action to protect the environment.
MANILA,
Philippines. March 31, 2022 – Over 2,000
stores nationwide from the different brands of the Jollibee Group participated
in this year’s Earth Hour, the world’s largest movement that promotes carbon
footprint reduction to stop climate change.
Participating stores of Jollibee, Mang Inasal, Red Ribbon, and Greenwich turned off the lights in their stores and signages for an hour. Billboards and other out-of-home ads of Jollibee Group brands were also switched off for an hour during this period.
“Participating annually in the Earth Hour is part
of our efforts in the Jollibee Group to demonstrate the commitment to helping
protect the planet as an organization. Efforts like Earth Hour are important in
raising more awareness among our people, our customers, and the public on the
realities of climate change and the need for individual and collective action to
protect the environment,” said Pepot Miñana, Chief Sustainability and Public
Affairs Officer of the Jollibee Group.
First started by the World Wildlife Fund
(WWF) in 2007, Earth Hour has grown into one of the world’s largest grassroots
movements for the environment today. Held every year, on the last Saturday of
March, the movement engages around 190 countries and territories, all acting in
ensuring a sustainable future for the planet and its people.
