Show up.

People/companies/bots engage in pretty simple tactics to drive engagement. Since I focus on #sustainability & #business I avoid using - or responding to - obvious clickbait.

You will never quench the fire
You'll give in to your desire

The #data prove #sustainability adds value. This includes #DEI #climate #efficiency #supplychain etc.
