    This remote colleagues problem is my issue. I don’t mind coming back in (except the cost) but it is very irritating and pointless as I’m a project manager with dispersed teams all …

    How many bits of paper does a restaurant need? How much electricity does their webpage menu use running 24/7. I can’t tell if you’re joking but no ESG professional would care about…
