“Lights out – for at least one night”: All of Helaba’s offices are taking part in Earth Night

All of Helaba Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen's 19 worldwide offices are taking part in Earth Night 2021. Apart from the ten German locations, this includes London, Madrid, Moscow, New York, Paris, Sao Paulo, Shanghai, Singapore and Stockholm. The aim of Earth Night is for participants to reduce artificial light as much as possible for at least one night a year. 

Earth Night always takes place from 10pm in the night of the September new moon, which falls on 7 September this year. Unlike Earth Hour in March, when lights are switched off for just one hour as a symbolic way of drawing attention to the need to reduce CO2 emissions, for Earth Night the lights are dimmed for the entire night.

"Back in March we made a powerful statement in support of protecting our environment and combatting climate change by taking part in Earth Hour. Now, by including all of Helaba’s 19 worldwide offices in participating in Earth Night, we once again want to show how important sustainability is to us. After all, we have set ourselves clearly defined goals and are actively involved in steering the transformation of the economy in the right direction," emphasises Thomas Groß, Helaba's CEO.
