Carlsberg Azerbaijan organized an ecological brain-ring "Together for the Future"

On 5th April, Carlsberg Azerbaijan brewery held an environmental brain ring "Together for the Future" dedicated to the Earth Hour

The environmental action "Earth Hour" by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) aimed at drawing attention to environmental problems, especially climate changes, is celebrated by switching the lights off in certain places around the world. This year Carlsberg Group supported this initiative in more than 40 breweries in all regions.

With the support of the Azerbaijan Intellectual Games Club, Carlsberg Azerbaijan also joined this initiative by organizing a brain-ring event dedicated to environmental problems. The brain ring "Together for the Future" was organized to raise awareness and once again draw the attention of participants and, generally, of the society to the challenges faced by humanity in respect to nature. Representatives of Green ASAN, Green Baku, journalists and bloggers participated in the brain-ring.

The winner of the brain ring was Green ASAN team.

 

Nadezhda Ovsiannikova, Head of Corporate Affairs at Carlsberg Azerbaijan: "The "Earth Hour" campaign is an excellent opportunity to draw the attention of the society to environmental problems that we often ignore in the chaos of everyday life. This initiative once again reminds that taking care of the environment and minimizing the consequences of human factor is our common task, and we have to take related measures both at the level of business entities and the state and as responsible inhabitants of the planet that care about the sustainable development of mankind.
