Community Involvement

Earth Hour and Digital Pacific.

Australia’s commercial business sector is responsible for around 10% of national greenhouse gas emissions. But if the commercial sector turned off lights when buildings weren’t in use and combined this with other cost effective technology, lighting emissions could be reduced by 70%. If the inner-city areas of Sydney alone did this, this would save 2-4 million tones of greenhouse gas emissions.

Joining Earth Hour was an opportunity for Digital Pacific to show our customers and employees that we are serious about reducing climate change. Earth Hour was the first step in a campaign for Sydney to cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 5% in 2007. We have shown leadership on emissions reduction by committing to Earth Hour. We hope that our involvement will inspire others to follow suit.
