Last week's portfolio ESG roundtable was a success! 🌱We had some great discussions on corporate carbon emissions and green strategies, including: How operational decisions (in-house servers vs. cloud, transport, travel) affect emissions and costs, with insights from Carbon Responsible, Xynteo and Novata - Crafting your first GHG report and avoiding greenwashing  - How to integrate carbon reduction into product offerings - Key takeaway: Progress is found in the path you take 🌍 Focus on continuous improvement, not on reaching a single point of perfection. Thanks to all who attended and contributed! 🙏 #ESG #HorizonPortfolio #CarbonEmissions
