GO is urging its customers to bring their used top-up cards - mobile, Internet and fixed line - with them to the Earth Garden Festival and deposit them into the recycling box at the GO stand during the festival scheduled for the 10 and 11 May at’ Ta’ Qali National Park. GO has pledged to plant a tree for every 5 used-up top-up cards received from its customers in its effort to help re-energise our environment and offset Carbon Dioxide emissions.

GO has teamed up with the organisers of Earth Garden and has joined forces with them on this primary focus which consists in rousing public awareness to the devastating effect of carbon emissions on the environment. In line with its drive to cut down on the carbon footprint for the common benefit of the local community at large, GO has kick started its own campaign aimed at a greener environment for future generations.

“Through our involvement with Earth Garden we are asking our customers to help us take a small step towards sustaining our environment. A little effort goes a long way,” said Franco Aloisio GO’s Head of Communications and Public affairs who stressed the key role trees play in combating climate change.

“By working together to plant more trees, we can contribute towards offsetting the effects that Carbon Dioxide has on global warming. Sustainability - now more than ever before - is at the heart of businesses around the world. By integrating environmental demands with sound business performance, we aim to create an expanding circle that benefits a wide range of stakeholders and society at large. Our efforts at tree-planting underpins GO’s commitment to sustainable development and is also in keeping with the principles of sound corporate social responsibility,” he went on.

GO has always taken its green role very seriously seeking to develop environmental-friendly solutions based on technologies in the various aspects of its business. Web4Me, GO’s ebilling service hit the market some years ago as a break-through giving customers the opportunity not just to get their bills online but with great potential to control and manage their payments from the comfort of their homes with a dual-save on time, paper and fuel costs. Meanwhile GO prides itself in alternative high-tech top up mechanisms even with respect to its mobile arm via technologies such as the auto top-up service, My GO - an easy and convenient way to top up the customer’s mobile account from the web portal, Smart SIM using the mobile phone to top up there and then, SMS Top-Up, monthly Auto top-up, credit transfer and much more.
