We’re left with largely performative, tick-box exercises that don’t move the needle far enough, even when well-intentioned, or worse, PR exercises straight from the greenwashing playbook. To make a real difference, we need to address these challenges head-on. Here’s how." Read on: 👇 https://lnkd.in/ehWYwC5e
