WWF Earth Hour
Shibakawa participates in Earth Hour sponsored by WWF (World Wildlife Fund). Earth Hour is an event that appeals our attitude toward environmental protection by turning off the lights for 60 minutes from 30:30 PM to 9:30 PM on March 30th around the world. In-house events include “Turn Off Unnecessary Lighting” and “Photo Contest” every year.
Green curtain project
During the summer season when severe heat hits every year, Shibakawa also introduced Cool Biz; and as a part of its activities, started a green curtain project to reduce power consumption and increase coolness.
