Governments, businesses and individuals around the world will turn off their lights between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, 28 March. This symbolic action begins in New Zealand and will progress across all global time zones.
UBS has taken part in Earth Hour since 2009 with more of our offices around the world joining each year (see below).
