Former Microsoft exec: Sustainability is ‘everybody’s job’. How key tactics can help
• 17 mins
Sustainability goals take more than will - they take culture change and block and tackle approaches. Microsoft announced a host of big commitments in 2020 for the decade ahead, including a goal to be carbon negative and another to reduce emissions by 55%.
