How are the big companies going to justify any effort they put against climate change?

Sounds stupid but forced return to office will also do enormous damage to the environment

Watch what they do, not what they say, I guess. Maybe it's mostly greenwashing?

The pandemic lockdowns were probably as close as we're ever going to get to observing how much a drastically reduced transport-intensive footprint is capable of helping the environment. If a lot of tension arises out of increasing RTO and shrinking labor pools, it will be interesting to watch how it resolves out.

They will just put out more PR.

Probably write it on the way to Davos in their private jet for the climate conference they'll issue it at.
