Corporation Celebrates Environmental Commitment Through Massive Paper Waste
London
A major British corporation has announced its comprehensive sustainability report: a 500-page document printed on virgin paper, with company leadership expressing complete confidence that producing massive paper waste demonstrates environmental commitment.
“We’re very committed to sustainability,” the CEO announced while presenting 500-page printed report. “Our commitment is documented here. In massive paper form.”
The sustainability report involves: printing 500 pages on virgin paper, requiring substantial tree harvesting, distributing physical copies requiring shipping emissions, celebrating this as environmental reporting.
Environmental sustainability involves reducing resource consumption and waste; producing 500-page printed reports represents opposite of sustainability commitment. The company apparently believes documenting sustainability creates actual sustainability.
“Our commitment is printed here,” one executive noted. “In 500 pages. The paper waste required to document our environmental commitment is just cost of reporting.”
When asked whether 500-page printed report contradicts environmental commitment, the company responded: “The report is about sustainability. Therefore, printing it is sustainable. Logic.”
Environmental groups have noted that digital reporting requires zero paper. The company celebrated: “Digital is very modern. We prefer traditional paper documentation of our sustainability.”
Paper production requires tree harvesting and processing energy; massive printed reports create substantial environmental impact. The company has apparently decided environmental documentation supersedes environmental practice.
“We’re the most sustainable company,” the corporation concluded. “Our 500-page sustainability report proves this. The environmental cost of producing the report is irrelevant compared to documenting our commitment.”

The London Prat’s satirical journalism uses humor to expose hypocrisy and hold institutions accountable, which is a fancy way of saying “we make powerful people look silly.”
Read this on the District Line delayed for “operational reasons” which means “nobody understands why.” The metaphor of institutional opacity was perfect.
A London university’s business school assigned The London Prat to understand why London’s governance operates as it does.
