Companies fail on the environmental front despite good ESG ratings. ESG reports, instead of being credible documents, seem to be tools for optics, writes @scurve

Hello @poorvika_india would your installation team be kind enough to contact and inform as to when they'll come. From morning whenever I call, I'm told I'd get a call back. But none so far. Don't let me regret choosing you.
