Demonstrating its commitment to protect the environment and alleviate climate change, Centro Sharjah by Rotana once again participated in Earth Hour for the fourth consecutive years, a global Worldwide Wildlife Fund for Nature (WWF) climate change initiative. On 28th March 2015, between 8:30 PM and 9:30 PM, the hotel turned off their lights mostly in the back-of-the-house areas and dimed the lights in public areas, restaurants and the hotel exterior. Guests were also encouraged to turn off their room lights and were invited to join the team and enjoy an hour at the lobby to participate in this initiative. “As an environmentally conscious and socially responsible company,Centro Sharjah takes the responsibility to educate our colleagues and guests on the essence of the Earth Hour campaign” said Michael Kasch, General Manager of Centro Sharjah. “ Centro Sharjah will remain devoted and committed in pursuing initiatives that alleviate the effects of climate change, not only through Earth Hour but also through other environmental CSR activities like: tree planting, green project implementation, and use of recycled products to name a few.” Michael added. Participating in Earth Hour is one of the key CSR activities of Rotana Earth’s environment driven initiatives. "Rotana Earth" is the Global Corporate Sustainability Platform of Rotana, a comprehensive framework that addresses environmental, economic and social sustainability to be implemented at all new and operating hotels, resorts, apartments and residences. The goal of the Rotana Earth platform is to guide our transition to sustainable development and setting fundamental values and principles for building a just and sustainable future for the community of life on earth. Centro Sharjah estimates that for each hour of shutting off or dimming lights, it can save more than 25 kw/hr of electricity. To encourage participation in the Earth Hour campaign guests were encouraged by offering a 20% discount at c.taste, the all-day dining restaurant for the duration of the activity.
