Earth Hour 2021: Greenrock Announces SiriusPoint As Lead Bermuda Sponsor
March 26 2021 - 10:49AM
Greenrock is proud to announce that SiriusPoint Ltd.
(“SiriusPoint”), a global insurance and reinsurance company, will
be the lead sponsor of Earth Hour 2021 in Bermuda.
Earth Hour is one of the world’s largest grassroots movements
for the environment, and in 2021 hopes to inspire individuals,
businesses, and organizations in over 180 countries and territories
to renew their commitment to the planet. The Bermuda event is being
organized by Greenrock, which is an island sustainability
charity.
SiriusPoint, which was recently formed after the merger of Third
Point Reinsurance Ltd. and Sirius International Insurance Group,
Ltd., is sponsoring the Bermuda part of a global campaign. Third
Point Reinsurance Ltd. was the lead Earth Hour sponsor in 2020.
The charity will use the sponsorship money to help make Bermuda
more sustainable and fund the mid-Atlantic island’s countdown to
2021 Earth Hour campaign which is being held on Saturday, March 27,
at 6.30pm AST.
Greenrock Chairman, Eugene Dean, said: “We are very thankful for
the sponsorship we have received from SiriusPoint and their
commitment to being Lead Advocate for our 2021 Earth Hour Campaign.
Their generous contribution means the world to us and will go a
long way toward supporting our efforts to help make Bermuda more
sustainable.
“We have very aggressive goals for our organization this year
and a variety of programs that have the potential to deliver
environmental impact and education where our community needs it
most. The level of their sponsorship over the past two years is a
clear indication of the confidence they have in the work we are
doing, and for that we are both humbled and inspired to do more. We
have made it very clear to SiriusPoint how much we appreciate their
contribution and, more importantly, their willingness to align
themselves with us publicly in an effort to inspire environmental
action, encourage greater appreciation for nature, and advocate for
an island-wide commitment to engage in strategies and behaviors
that lead to the reduction of our dependence on fossil fuels.”
Mark Nash, SiriusPoint Senior Vice President, Enterprise Risk
Management and Head of the Charitable Donations Committee, said:
“Earth Hour 2021 is designed to raise awareness about the
challenges facing our planet and this year’s campaign will focus on
reducing our dependency on fossil fuels. We are delighted to be
able to sponsor such a worthwhile initiative in Bermuda. At
SiriusPoint, we are committed to finding better ways to do things,
to collaborating and empowering individuals, and
to positively impacting the communities and environments
we work in. Greenrock is doing incredible work focusing the
Island's community on the challenges we face together, and we are
proud that our values align with their mission.”
This year Greenrock will countdown to Earth Hour with a live
stream and television broadcast on Saturday, March 27th from 6:30pm
AST to “Lights Out” featuring a youth segment, a community segment
and a segment on the green economy. The two-hour program, which
will be broadcast on Bermuda channels ZBM and Channel 82 and
streamed live on the Greenrock website, YouTube Channel and
Facebook Page, will include:

We encourage everyone to tune into our Earth Hour Live broadcast
at 6:30pm and turn off any unnecessary lights from 8:30pm - 9:30pm
while taking time to pause and reflect on adopting new behaviors
that reduce our carbon footprint, help us live more sustainably,
and inspire others to do the same.
