UDC Tower before (L) and after switching off the lights.
United Development Company (UDC), master developer of The Pearl-Qatar and Gewan islands, took part in the Earth Hour initiative on Saturday by switching off unnecessary lights from 8.30pm till 9.30pm.
The switch off covered Porto Arabia boardwalk, Qanat Quartier and Medina Centrale retail areas and UDC Tower.
Participating in Earth Hour comes within UDC’s commitment to its social responsibility towards the local environment, evident by its efforts in integrating sustainable practices into business decisions and by adopting conscious methods in the management and recycling of waste on the Island.
UDC also adopts policies to ensure the optimal use of energy in all its projects, and organises events that aim to highlight environmental and social initiatives and concerns.
