Earth Hour, is a global environmental event initiated by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It takes place every year on the last Saturday of March. By encouraging people to turn off their lights for one hour, it aims to raise awareness about climate change and promote energy conservation and carbon reduction.

This day is considered a symbol of the global environmental movement, calling on people to collectively pay attention to Earth's environmental issues and take action to protect our home. The establishment of Earth Day not only commemorates the initiation of the environmental protection movement but also serves as a reminder of the fragility of our planet. On this day, people express their concern and support for the Earth through various forms of activities.

On Earth Day, many businesses actively participate in environmental activities, contributing to their communities and the environment. These activities include beach clean-ups, environmental lectures, tree planting, and more, aimed at raising awareness about environmental protection and encouraging people to take practical actions to improve environmental quality. Through these activities, businesses not only demonstrate their social responsibility but also strengthen their employees' sense of teamwork and cohesion.

Every year, Earth Day has a specific theme aimed at directing people's attention to pressing environmental issues and encouraging action to address them. The theme for the 2024 World Earth Day on April 22nd is "Planet vs. Plastics." This theme primarily emphasizes the severe impact of plastic pollution on the Earth's environment and echoes the call for reducing plastic pollution to protect the ecological health of the planet, aiming to achieve a 60% reduction in plastic usage by 2040.

Sinox has always regarded Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles as an integral part of sustainable development. We recognize the finite nature of Earth's resources, and thus, we strive to integrate sustainable development principles into all aspects of our business. As a socially responsible company, we are committed not only to practicing environmental conservation in our business operations but also actively participating in various environmental activities to contribute to society and the environment.

As Earth Day approaches in 2024, Sinox not only participates in plastic reduction environmental initiatives but also actively joins the Earth Hour. During this hour, people are encouraged to turn off lights in their homes and workplaces symbolically to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

We believe that everyone has a responsibility to contribute to protecting the Earth. Through implementing the Earth Hour initiative, we express Sinox's concern and support for the Earth's environment. This is not just a simple gesture but also our commitment to a greener planet. We hope to seize this opportunity to raise more awareness about environmental issues, urging everyone to come together and take collective action for our planet.

This event is not only a commemoration of World Earth Day but also a pledge to our ESG commitments. We believe that every small act of environmental conservation can converge into a significant force, contributing to our home, Mother Earth! Therefore, on this special day, let's join hands together and strive for our home (Earth), creating a better future collectively!
