ECFH Supports Our Planet Film Festival

The ECFH Group continued in its commitment to uphold efforts aimed at increasing environmental awareness, conservation and the sustainable development of natural resources. The Group signed on as bronze sponsors of the first ever Environmental Film Festival hosted by the Our Planet Centre at La Place Carenage.

The festival runs from June to September 2012 and will feature international award-winning environmental films from the likes of BBC, National Geographic, Warner Independent, CNN, Walt Disney and so much more. Films will be featured twice weekly (Fridays at 6:30 p.m. & Saturdays at 3:00 p.m.) and proceeds are in aid of the development of a plastic bottle recycling initiative in Saint Lucia. For more information on the festival, visit the Our Planet website at http://www.ourplanetcentre.org.

The ECFH Group has for a number of years supported green initiatives, which was further demonstrated in 2008 when the organisation took the bold step towards becoming more environmentally responsible with the launch of its Greedy for Green programme. This involves the adoption of environmentally-friendly practices internally across the Group’s subsidiaries, as well as supporting external projects to promote environmental conservation and awareness, and to influence responsible environmental practices and behaviours.
