Join Our Mission

At the Free Press Journal, we recognise that progress is now indistinguishably entwined with preservation, that our forward momentum is now inextricably tied to our guardianship and stewardship of our planet's heritage. The Sustainability Network is an effort to give words to that clarity of purpose

The Free Press Journal has had an unyielding commitment to progress, and we now seek to engage with the questions around sustainable progress, on how to build a landscape where sustainability is not just a buzzword. This initiative is a testament to our profound reverence for the planet and our aspiration to forge a legacy worthy of the generations still to come.

The Sustainability Network has a mission that transcends mere dissemination of knowledge. It embarks upon an odyssey of transformative change.

We seek to amplify calls to action, use our experience in storytelling to explain to readers and viewers the strategic insights of corporate pioneers, and build a narrative that catalyses advocacy and celebrates triumphs in the journey to building a more sustainable world.

We are not confined to the ordinary bounds of media ventures, and The Sustainability Network will collaborate for storytelling that is innovative, woven from the threads of multimedia ingenuity. We bring you video dialogues with industry titans, podcasts featuring custodians of sustainability ventures, and text and visual stories about the cause of climate equilibrium.

Our fireside chats and panel discussions will be crucibles of this collaboration, where industry leaders will convene with purpose, to discuss collective action for change.

A special melody will echo through our ‘Sustainability Shala’, where wisdom from industry and civil society shall nurture young minds. Every news report, interview, video story, multimedia story, guest column and symposium by The Sustainability Network will seek to nourish our collective spirit of stewardship of the earth.

Our journey will be an ambitious one. We hope to lead immersive walks through urban and green landscapes, we are designing multimedia exhibitions that paint the story of our future. Our Sustainability newsletter, our interactive engagements with our readers, all of these will resound with a single purpose: to enthral, to inspire others to join the journey.

Within the clarion notes of India's net-zero ambitions are the dialogues, discussions, debates and dilemmas of diverse sectors’ needs and challenges. With The Sustainability Network, we commit ourselves to engage with these sometimes difficult subjects.

I invite you to join us in this effort, to shape an enduring legacy for future generations, and to tell the story of how this was done.

Sincerely,

Abhishek Karnani

Director, The Free Press Journal
