Background : This is an early morning discussion between Karbon Kapucha (the climate - minded CEO of a multi - trillion $ company and his secretary Welly Suppocha )
Karbon walks into his CEO suite, whistling a rummy tune, though badly. And why not! His team of sustainability professionals, led by the renowned CSO Envir Protekcha, has just compiled a report of all their ESG efforts in the past 12 months - efforts into which his company had invested over $75 billion, the highest ESG investments by any company in the world.
And the report of their extra-ordinary ESG efforts is just in.
Who could complain if Karbon was whistling - even badly?
And this is what happens next...
Karbon - (Looking adoringly at the ESG report on his table...) Welly, I'm so proud!
Welly - (Equally admiringly) It is a very detailed one, Mr Kapucha. There are more than 500 pages of highlights.
Karbon picks up the report delicately. It felt so feathery and weightless - and not without reason! A second later...
Karbon - It strikes me that there is something really amiss in the report, my dear lady.
Welly - Really, sir? Is there something wrong with the detailed contents?
Karbon - If you want an accurate answer, no. What I find missing are the detailed contents that you speak so highly of. Our report is, to use the fewest words, blank. Just two pages - the cover and back page.
Welly appears confused. Karbon continues…
Karbon - There must be some mistake. Where are all the highlights of hundreds of ESG activities we did in the past 12 months, covered in the 500 glorious pages you appreciatively referred to?
Welly suddenly remembers something.
Welly - Mr Kapucha, oh! Do you recall that yesterday you recommended that we put our ESG report through the AI-based Corporate Truth Machine, OnlyTruthAI - the machine that puts out nothing but the truth?
Karbon - Of course, don't I! I'm a fair guy, Welly, you know that, the world knows that. I want authenticity, I say. Whatever we have done in ESG last one year must have an impact. Impact! Did you put our ESG report through that admirable truth machine?
Welly, after what is described in corporate circles as a strategic pause...
Welly- Yes, Mr. Kapucha. And if my suspicions are correct, what you hold in your hands right now is the output from OnlyTruthAI.
