The last five years of corporate sustainability produced an enormous volume of pledges, frameworks, and disclosure reports. Measured by what ultimately matters, which is operational tonnes of carbon avoided against a verified baseline, most of the work has yet to begin. The risk now is mistaking the planning phase for the project itself. The numbers make that distinction visible.
