Jollibee Group Unites for Earth Hour 2025, Over 4,500 Stores to Join Global Movement
Manila, Philippines – March 20, 2025 – Jollibee Foods Corporation (JFC), one of the world’s fastest-growing restaurant companies, is once again taking part in Earth Hour 2025 with over 4,300 stores across 16 markets switching off their lights on March 22, 2025, at 8:30 PM local time. This initiative is part of the Jollibee Group’s broader commitment to sustainability and responsible stewardship of the planet.
Jollibee, The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf ©, Tim Ho Wan, Smashburger, Chowking, Highlands Coffee Vietnam, Mang Inasal, Greenwich, Red Ribbon, Yonghe King, Hong Zhuang Yuan, and the Jollibee Group’s foreign franchised brands in the Philippines (Burger King, Panda Express, Yoshinoya, Common Man Coffee Roasters, and Tiong Bahru Bakery) will participate in Earth Hour across the company’s global network.
Earth Hour, an annual movement organized by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), calls on individuals, businesses, and communities worldwide to “Give an Hour for Earth” by turning off non-essential lights for one hour as a symbolic act of environmental solidarity.
“Protecting the planet is a shared responsibility, and Earth Hour reminds us that even the smallest actions can make a significant impact when done together,” said Pepot Miñana, Global Chief Sustainability Officer of Jollibee Group. “We are committed to sustainable business practices, and initiatives like Earth Hour allow us to reinforce this commitment with our employees, customers, and communities around the world.”
A Global Effort for a Sustainable Future
Beyond participating in Earth Hour, Jollibee Group continues to make important strides in energy efficiency. In 2024, the company successfully integrated renewable energy across its four main manufacturing sites in the Philippines, resulting in a reduction in power purchased from the grid despite growing business demand.
The company’s participation in Earth Hour aligns with its Joy for Tomorrow sustainability agenda, which focuses on treating the planet responsibly, supporting communities, and ensuring sustainable growth across its operations worldwide.
“Earth Hour serves as a reminder that sustainability is an ongoing journey. We remain committed to continue finding ways to reduce our environmental footprint, which is an integral part of our mission to spread joy to our customers,” added Minana.
