How teams navigate performative versus meaningful climate action at work

Our team is supposed to be implementing our company's new sustainability goals but everyone knows they're mostly for show and won't actually address our biggest environmental impacts. Some of us want to push back and propose more meaningful changes, others just want to do what's asked and not make waves, and we haven't figured out how to have this conversation without it becoming about who cares more or who's willing to risk more.
