Pakistan State Oil joined the Earth Hour campaign to spread awareness on climate change and inculcate responsible behaviour amongst its employees on March 26, 2011. In keeping with its theme 'The earth needs a break' all lights were switched off at PSO Head Office and regional offices and were dimmed at its retail outlets across the country.
Commenting on this initiative, Irfan Qureshi, Managing Director PSO said, "We are proud to share this experience with the rest of the world in support of the environment. At PSO, we are committed to conserve energy and to mitigate negative impacts of our operations on the environment, including minimising our fuel use and emissions. We request our nation to wisely use our power, water and other resources and to recycle wherever possible." To show their support for efforts to support the environment, PSO employees also celebrated Earth Hour in their individual capacity by switching off lights at their homes at 8.30pm.-PR
