All over the world, office buildings managed by Jones Lang LaSalle and LaSalle Investment Management will go dark for an hour on Saturday evening (26th March) in observance of Earth Hour, the World Wildlife Fund annual campaign to encourage commitment to action on climate change. 

At 8:30 p.m. local time in cities around the world Jones Lang LaSalle and LaSalle Investment Management offices in more than 50 countries will join with hundreds of thousands of other buildings in turning off non-emergency lighting for an hour, effectively darkening skylines around the world.

"Earth Hour is a powerful reminder of the central role that electricity plays in our lives, and the importance of conserving our planet’s resources for future generations,” said Lauralee Martin, Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle. “We’re proud of the strong show of support by our people across the world—in our offices, the buildings of our clients and the homes of many of our employees.”

“Starting in one city just five years ago, Earth Hour has grown to 4,600 cities and hundreds of millions of people around the world—and Jones Lang LaSalle has been involved from the start,” said Dan Probst, Chairman of Energy and Sustainability Services at Jones Lang LaSalle. “We have seen participation increase among our employees and our clients, as more and more people show their support for this global event.”
