The Meridian Shopping Centerowned by the Klépierre Group, once again joins ‘Earth Hour’, from the hand of WWF. A symbolic gesture that aims to highlight environmental deterioration and raise awareness of the problem of climate change.
This Saturday, March 26 at 8:30 p.m. at 9:30 p.m. will turn off sign lights, window displays and exterior lighting of Meridian. An act that will also be replicated in all the Klépierre Shopping Centers in Spain and worldwide in the most emblematic buildings of the main capitals.
For this year, an alliance of governments and organizations are calling for increased ambition and urgent action to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030.
Act For The Planet®
Klépierre Spain continues to develop sustainable policies as the common axis of its powerful Act For Good® Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, addressing challenges that allow it to minimize the impact of its assets and achieve a positive socio-environmental result.
This strategy of the Klépierre Group is based on three fundamental pillars. Act For The Planet® is one of them and is aimed at reducing the energy impact of the company’s assets and materializing synergies between all its Shopping Centers to implement lower consumption policies.
Along these same lines, Klépierre has implemented the ISO50001 Energy Management System, which allows them to minimize energy expenditure, monitoring the consumption of buildings. And at the end of 2021, the company invested a total of 2 million euros in the installation of solar panels in Plenilunio, La Gavia and Príncipe Pío (Madrid), thus allowing it to generate energy equivalent to the average electricity consumption of more than 1,000 homes and reducing electricity consumption by around 30%.
And, precisely, thanks to this knowledge of energy consumption, Klépierre has invested in changing lighting for more efficient systems with integrated controls, replacing air conditioning systems and improving the BMS, among other measures. In addition, the Klépierre Shopping Centers are supplied with 100% renewable energy sources.
The Alfredo Kraus Auditorium and the Pérez Galdós Theater
The Alfredo Kraus Auditorium and the Pérez Galdós Theater in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria will join the celebration of ‘Earth Hour’ this Saturday and will turn off their lights from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
As reported by the Auditorium and Theater Foundation of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, the objective of this initiative is to raise awareness about climate change.
For its part, the first ‘Earth Hour’ was held in Sydney on March 31, 2007 and, since then, has positioned itself as the largest global mobilization campaign against climate change.
Thus, what began in a single city has spread to more than 187 countries and is supported by millions of companies, public bodies and people from all corners of the planet.
Over the years, this gesture has become a demonstration to influence, globally and with one voice, in favor of the fight against climate change, the responsible use of resources and the defense of nature.
