Shereen Bhan, Managing Editor, CNBC-TV18, said, “‘We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children’ - This undeniable truth needs to push us all to act. World leaders have made new commitments to slow down the climate clock at the COP26 Summit but the targets will be achievable only if all stakeholders act responsibly and collectively. At CNBC-TV18, we have curated content and conversations highlighting the need for change and provided a platform to exchange notes on best practices to create a cleaner and greener business playbook. This campaign is our latest effort to amplify what models and champions change."
Smriti Mehra, CEO - Business News, Network18, said, “As a brand-driven by purpose and strong work ethics, we wanted to create a space that would talk about other such similar organisations and businesses who with their sheer determination and purpose-driven attitude are creating a sustainable environment for employees and consumers alike. Through Sense and Sustainability, we will celebrate the sustainability efforts of corporates who believe that profits and ethics can co-exist, thus inspiring other businesses to adopt a sustainable work model.”
