This sounds great, but as we know from our own work wading through corp-talk and greenwashing, the way companies report on their impacts matters just as much as what they say. Burying PDFs inside a corporate report with unlabelled pie charts is not exactly helpful (looking at you HP ).

This more open kind of reporting is badly needed, so weโve just co-signed this letter as Restart. If youโre involved with an organisation that uses corporate data (or simply agrees with these demands), please do consider signing too and sharing with others.
