Bank South Pacific to join Earth Hour

Bank South Pacific (BSP) in Papua New Guinea, Cook Islands, Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, Solomon Islands and Vanuatu  will join 156 countries around the world to observe the global EartAs such, BSP offices and branches throughout the Pacific will be switching non-essential lights off from 8:30pm to 9.30pm for Earth Hour.

"BSP's participation marks our ongoing Go Green campaign and the fact that there is more to it than just switching off lights for one hour, once a year. It's about the practical things we do to promote our Go Green message," said Nuni Kulu, BSP's Acting Deputy General Manager - Retail Business.

"BSP has over 4,000 staff that live in different communities, and as an organisation, we unite to ensure a healthy future for our world. Environmental challenges such as global warming and pollution are real and will not be resolved in a short period of time.

BSP is the leading Bank in the Pacific, and we hope our corporate stand, brings awareness to every community that we operate in. Our annual Go Green activities ensure that we teach our young generation to respect our environment and to promote responsible behaviour. Our participation to observe Earth Hour each year reaffirms our commitment to this message," added Mrs Kulu.

Earth Hour is a global event created by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). This year's theme aims to continue the message of shining a light on climate change.

BSP urges everyone to join this Go Green initiative and raise your voices for action to ensure our homes, villages, schools, streets, towns and cities observe and take part in this for a clean and energy-saving environment for our future generations to enjoy.
