HONG KONG, July 13, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Building on continuous success over the last 14 years, Kirloskar, India's leading multi-engineering conglomerate, is again partnering with CNN International Commercial (CNNIC) to sponsor CNN's 'Going Green' as part of a campaign that highlights a strong commitment towards a greener future.

This year's advertising and sponsorship campaign with Kirloskar includes two 'Going Green' shows which will air on CNN International in July and November with a focus on green innovations and changemakers who are finding solutions to some of our biggest environmental challenges. In addition, Kirloskar is also sponsoring a range of digital content focused on the green agenda available across CNN's digital and social platforms.

Rob Bradley, Senior Vice President, CNN International Commercial, said "Sustainability is a key priority for us, and CNN's powerful journalism has been illustrating as well as empowering green initiatives for over four decades. We are delighted to reaffirm our long-standing partnership with Kirloskar to engage global audiences to inspire action towards a sustainable future. Going Green is an enduring initiative that we at CNN are truly proud of and it is our pleasure to partner with Kirloskar, which has a long-standing commitment to sustainability and protecting our planet for the future."
