To coincide with “International Day for the Preservation of the Ozone Layer” celebrations held globally on 16 September, GasanMamo Insurance held a Dress Down Day for its entire staff to generate awareness on global warming and ways to implement simple but effective eco-friendly measures.

All clients who visited the GasanMamo Insurance main offices in Gzira on that particular day were given a T-shirt featuring “Together for a Greener Future” and a bookmark, produced from recycled paper with eco-friendly tips.

The management of GasanMamo Insurance strongly supported the Italian government’s initiative of requesting businesses to loosen up on the dress code during the hot summer months. An Italian Ministry spokesman had said, “Taking your tie off, immediately lowers the body temperature by 2 to 3º Celsius. This allows for a more sensible use of air-conditioning, yielding electricity savings and protecting the environment.”

This day was one of a series of implementations undertaken by GasanMamo to better care for the environment. The latest environmental initiative by GasanMamo is a monthly draw for motor policyholders renewing their policy until the end of this year.

Upon renewal, clients will automatically benefit from the chance of winning Lm50 worth of biodiesel, a diesel-equivalent, processed fuel derived from biological sources, such as vegetable oils, which can be used in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles.
