So many companies talk about their policies to be sustainable or zero carbon. They go to great extends to change their processes and products to achieve that. Apart from not creating emissions, what is the next best thing?
In other words… is it worth replacing plastic straws in the office with paper ones or donate once a year a new scooter to India in replacement of a horrible rIcksaw, that is spitting soot like a London Chimney in the 1800s?
A more concrete example: Nespresso goes to great extends to recycle their pods. They create special plastic packaging, pay for the postage (which creates emissions) and ofc spend energy to recover the aluminium from the pods. Would it make sense to instead ship their coffee machines with an eco conscious ship instead of a mazut guzzling behemoth?

Most of these companies have a compliance officer. Like an accountant. Depending on the rules, which change with legislation, if followed, a company can declare “zero net emissions” and received tax benefits. 90% of the companies are only looking to comply with regulations and the compliance officer is not there to “advance any green initiatives”
