RE:New ESG standards issued

Ya, what horrible aspirations for a company.  Reducing waste, cut toxic spills by 50%, have fewer employee injuries, have fewer traffic accidents, increase diversity, have zero fatalities each year.  Man, what a set of tyrants these people are.  What ever are they thinking?
