The Magyar Telekom Group, which also comprises Makedonski Telekom, has become the first European company which is completely carbon neutral

This year, once again, Makedonski Telekom is going to join the worldwide voluntary movement Earth Hour, through which, by means of a symbolic turning off of the lights, it will send a message for saving our planet. As a part of the movement, tomorrow, 19th March (Saturday), with a beginning at 20:30 hrs until 21:30 hrs, Makedonski Telekom is going to turn off the lights in the headquarters at the centre of Skopje, i.e. at the business premises, the Telekom innovation centre, the facade lights and the billboard lightings.

Climate change is one of the most serious problems of today and because of that Makedonski Telekom has been a part of the worldwide movement Earth Hour traditionally, for many years, whereby it shows its social responsibility and dedication to environmental protection. In view of the foregoing, as a result of the active measures for environmental protection and protection against climate change, the Magyar Telekom Group, which also comprises Makedonski Telekom, has become the first European telecommunication company which is completely carbon neutral.

In order to accomplish the objectives set forth in the Sustainable Development Strategy, Makedonski Telekom is increasing the energy efficiency by applying innovative solutions in its operation. Makedonski Telekom has achieved a decrease of power consumption primarily by means of new modern telecommunications technologies, such as the project for modernization of the network, fully based on Internet protocol (ALL IP). Several infrastructure facilities are supplied with solar energy, while by means of optimizing the working space the heating consumption has also been decreased. Power consumption control is also conducted by the introduction of an automatic switching of the lights in the business premises, while also with a view to environmental protection, as an affirmation of the ISO 14001:2004 certificate, several years ago Makedonski Telekom replaced hardcopy bills by introducing electronic bills for the customers.

By supporting the Earth Hour movement, Makedonski Telekom is not only making its contribution for raising the awareness regarding climate changes, but it is also encouraging other companies, individuals and organizations to actively join the preservation of a healthy environment for the future generations.
The planetary movement Earth Hour was initiated by the organization WWF (World Wildlife Fund), it includes 172 countries and it is supported by the worldwide metropolises.
