So Edelman, you dropped two high-emitting clients out of 20, none of which you'll name, and that's supposed to suffice as meaningful climate action? Pardon me if I'm not doing cartwheels at this news.

All too common in the professional services industry (PR, consulting, marketing). Someone is tasked with building a "sustainability practice" with half hearted support from leadership, while the other side of the business is doubling down on providing services to carbon intensive companies and historically malicious actors.

The only solution is a ban on fossil fuel advertising imo.

Sounds like corporate double-speak. Which equates to high-falutin' bullshit.
