Greenwashing Corruption With a "Chief Sustainability Officer", Who Infamously Defended Battisetelli's Crimes at the EPO and Petitioned for Him
She was rewarded for conspiring against EPO staff, as usual

"Dear Colleagues," the Central Staff Committee wrote. "The Central Staff Committee (CSC) has invited the Chief Sustainability Officer, Ms Roberta Romano-Götsch, to consider the introduction of an e-bike leasing programme as part of the Office's sustainability plan."
This open letter "to the Chief Sustainability Officer" is short and it is dated last Thursday. Here is the whole text:

Proposal for an e-bike leasing programme
Dear Ms Romano-Götsch,
In line with the objectives of SP2028 Driver 1, namely “Creating an engaging physical home, by contributing to health and safety, sustainable staff engagement, environmental sustainability and the EPO's commitment to becoming a carbon-neutral organisation by 2030”, the Central Staff Committee would like to propose the introduction of an e-bike leasing programme.
This programme would make cycling to work more accessible. It could encourage more colleagues to commute by bicycle, promote healthier travel and reduce reliance on cars. Similar schemes have already been successfully introduced by public and private employers in our host countries.
The recent phishing awareness exercise on the subject of an e-bike leasing scheme caught the attention of 1 218 colleagues, indicating a high level of interest in such an initiative.
The CSC would therefore invite you to introduce an e-bike leasing scheme as part of the Office's sustainability efforts.
Sincerely yours,
Derek Kelly
Chairman of the Central Staff Committee
Remember the time Battistelli alleged his bicycle (if he had or actually used any at all) has been tampered with so that he can paint himself as the victim, waste a lot of money on "security", and then break the laws of Germany by bringing the likes of Alexandre Benalla? █
