Renaissance Mumbai supports worldwide earth hour movement for the environment by going dark for one hour

Mumbai, March 30, 2019 – Renaissance Mumbai will go dark for one hour on March 30th to shine a light on climate action in support of Earth Hour 2019. The hotel will join millions around the world in turning off its lights at 8:30 p.m. local time to illuminate a powerful message about environmental awareness and action. The World Wildlife Fund (WWF) created the annual global environmental awareness event 12 years ago to emphasize the threat of climate change.

Renaissance Mumbai will participate by turning off the exterior signage lighting, dim or turn off non-essential interior lighting; use candlelight in appropriate public areas such as restaurants and bars; and use in-house television messages to inform guests about Earth Hour observances.

They will also participate in Marriott International’s drive to raise funds for WWF and contribute by raising awareness about Sustainable clothing and their usage in a conventional manner.

“Each year, we celebrate Earth Hour and are reminded of the importance this event has in bringing awareness to the pressing issues of climate change” said Denise Naguib, Vice President of Sustainability and Supplier Diversity. “We have a responsibility, and an opportunity to share this message with the millions of guests and associates through bringing Earth Hour to life tonight, and continuing the focus every day through our sustainability and social impact platform, Serve 360.”

Renaissance Mumbai is located at Renaissance Mumbai Convention Centre Hotel & Lakeside Chalet – Mumbai, Marriott Executive Apartments 2&3B, Near Chinmayanand Ashram, Powai, Mumbai – 400087. India.
