What is a good sustainability team OKR?

A good sustainability team OKR pairs one clear objective with two to four measurable key results the team can score every week. It describes an outcome rather than a list of activities, sets targets that are ambitious but scoreable, and is reviewed weekly so blockers surface before the quarter gets away from the team.
