Global travel tech company Yanolja (CEO Sujin Lee) participated in 'Earth Hour', the world's largest environmental campaign, taking steps to save energy in daily life in response to the climate crisis.

'Earth Hour' is a global nature conservation campaign hosted by the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF). It is an annual event held on the last Saturday of March, encouraging individuals and businesses to turn off their lights for one hour to raise awareness about the need for environmental protection. Yanolja simultaneously turned off the lights across all floors of its headquarters and the '10X Tower', the headquarters of NOL UNIVERSE, a member company of its Consumer Platform Division, for one hour starting at 8:30 PM on the 28th.

Through this headquarters lights-out, Yanolja saved approximately 300kWh of electricity, which is equivalent to the amount needed to power 125 household refrigerators for a full day. In addition, the company added further meaning to the campaign by hosting a home lights-out certification event to encourage employees to participate in environmental protection in their daily lives.

Beyond one-time campaigns, Yanolja continues to engage in regular energy-saving activities. The '10X Tower', the headquarters of NOL UNIVERSE under the Consumer Platform Division, has steadily improved its operational efficiency by turning off indoor lights during lunchtime and landscape lighting at night, upgrading heating and cooling controls, and utilizing outdoor air cooling. As a result, it achieved a reduction in energy consumption of approximately 723MWh in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year.

This is equivalent to a reduction of approximately 123 tons of carbon dioxide emissions, which matches the amount of carbon absorbed by about 1,000 pine trees in the central region over 60 years. Moving forward, Yanolja plans to maximize the energy efficiency of its headquarters infrastructure based on its unrivaled IT capabilities.

A Yanolja official stated, "Participating in the Earth Hour campaign is part of our efforts to spread a positive impact on the environment and society," adding, "We will continue to fulfill our social responsibilities as a global travel tech company through various activities that practice sustainable management values."
