This event, organized by the Ministry of Climate, Energy and Environment, aims to reduce carbon emissions by turning off lights during the evening, when energy consumption is highest. The lights-off will take place for 10 minutes starting at 8:00 p.m. that day.

Hanwha Group will simultaneously turn off indoor and outdoor lighting at major company buildings in Seoul, including the Hanwha Building in Euljiro (headquarters), the 63 Building in Yeouido (Hanwha Life headquarters), the Hanwha General Insurance building, and the Galleria Department Store Luxury Hall in Apgujeong.

Other affiliate offices and business sites, such as Hanwha Life, Hanwha General Insurance, and Galleria Department Store locations across the country, will also participate, promoting energy saving and environmental protection.

However, business sites that cannot participate due to safety concerns or customer needs will be exempted.

Last month, Hanwha Group implemented a real-time alternate day vehicle use system, and since April 8, it has expanded this to a five-day rotation system.

A Hanwha Group representative stated, "We are joining this lights-off event to reflect on the global environment and to practice energy conservation," and added, "We will continue to seek and actively implement various climate actions that all employees can participate in together."
