MIRI: Employees of Interhill Group in the state joined the global Earth Hour movement at 8.30pm on Saturday by turning off lights at their buildings for one hour.
Interhill is confident the Earth Hour campaign would create positive impact on the environment and also create awareness among the people that small efforts could do wonders for Mother Earth.
Its executive director, Datin Lau Ngok Yung, believed the campaign’s overall effect was to create and encourage an inter-connected community to be engaged in a dialogue and allocation of resources that could bring about real solutions to environmental challenges.
“Interhill supports Earth Hour as it addresses similar CSR (corporate social responsibility) efforts that we have established here for the environment by designing business practices that provide customers with the ability to minimise their impact on the environment”, she said yesterday.
She revealed that within an hour, Interhill estimated saving a minimum of 330,000 watts of electricity from Wisma Interhill Waterfront Commercial Centre Miri.
“We will continue to develop similar efforts into business practices that encourage stakeholders to minimise the use on carbon foot prints.”
Interhill Group and its stakeholders constantly strives to maximise green effort from minimal usage on electricity to recycling in every aspect of life.
