Do you have any process to make sure the jobs aren't just corporate greenwashing or co-option leading activists/advocates to useless positions?

Yeah it really reads like hot garbage. Which will have a bigger positive impact if we HAD to pick one? A) Sell more electric cars B) Eliminating the need for cars in as many cases as possible through good design(and there is countless working examples of this. Density and public transit being the obvious ones).

Obviously these two things aren't mutually exclusive. But there's clearly better directions to focus our energy

Forestry companies in my province(BC, Canada)are notorious for this. People keep telling me go work in forestry to "save the planet!" Meanwhile underneath all the branding of sustainability and reforestation is an industry that turned a massive region of forest(bigger than states or European countries) into a net carbon output with the use of monoculture and dumping chemicals on it(like glyphosate). But it's still called sustainable.

What sort of work do you do to distinguish between a company that is hiring in order to keep up their harmful practices versus one that is actually making a difference? And how does your organization define "make a difference" as vague a term as it is.
