Hi there! Anyone from Quantis willing to chat?
If you're wondering what your actual impact on sustainable development is as a sustainability consultant, have a look.
Main argument is that the entire ESG industry is not grounded in scientific boundaries and therefore doing more harm than good.

Looks like we can see just how far we haven’t come in so many ways. It’s easy to live in a bubble and ignore the fact that we are not changing the system. Racism, misogyny, slavery, genocide are what built the U.S. That is the foundation of this country and lots of people are just fine with that continuing if it means they get to stay comfortable. Also shows that a lot of allies aren’t actually allies behind closed doors. For environment, we will probably be ok bc of Europe and companies pushing so much. But socially? We are not ok.
Not great. But, you learn to deal with adversity and dust yourself off and keep going. I do feel awful for some of our younger colleagues, some of them had their heart into the campaign and they may never have suffered a disappointment like this before. But, they're smart and capable and tough, they'll work through it and be fine. The VP's speech this afternoon may have helped a lot in that regard.
Normal feelings when your preferred candidate loses, but mustering up determination because there’s plenty of work to be done with or without the aid of the next administration.
I do. A lot of work got kicked off with funds from the IRA and the Trump admin has pledged to gut unspent funding. I do think there has been a shift towards esg initiatives across industries bc of international legislation like the CSRD, but this admin’s appointees/legislation is likely to slow that progress in the US.
I have definitely had better days, weeks, months even but I am hanging in there. I am just choosing to focus on the things I can control and not get so hung up on things that are very clearly out of my control. Hope everyone else is hanging in there.
