Earth Hour 2026 (webpage cover)

New Island supports the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) annual global environmental movement EARTH HOUR. This year Earth Hour will be held on 28th March 2026, 8:30pm – 9:30pm.  Please join us. Do it for our beautiful planet.

Earth Hour is a global environmental movement that encourages people to switch off non-essential lights for one hour to raise awareness and take action for the planet. Earth Hour aims to highlight the climate and nature crises, encourage sustainable practices and inspire collective action. Beyond turning off lights, it promotes initiatives such as reducing electricity and water consumption, recycling, and environmental volunteering.

Earth Hour is celebrated worldwide, with iconic landmarks participating by turning off their lights. It has become the largest global environmental moment, and it is uniting people across cultures to advocate for urgent climate action. By participating, you will be contributing to a collective effort in protecting our precious planet.

Anyone can join Earth Hour by:

  1. Turning off non-essential lights for an hour.
  2. Participating in eco-friendly activities.
  3. Raising awareness through social media or local events.

NEW ISLAND PLEDGE

New Island began to support Earth Hour as a company in 2025. With short notice, our staff were very enthusiastic to participate and to learn more about this event. Hong Kong staff were invited to sign a voluntary pledge online. Our China factories displayed posters on staff notice boards and banners at the staff canteen to encourage voluntary participation. The action was well received.

Starting from 2026, we will extend our support and spread awareness to all our business locations. Other activities include:

  • Our external emails to customers and suppliers will attach an Earth Hour email signature during the entire month of March up to mid-April.
  • Earth Hour posters have been placed on notice boards in our factories.
  • Our participation is announced on social media.
  • Encourage staff to post their participation on social media and invite friends and family to participate.
