Embracing a New Era of Corporate Citizenship
The world has experienced multiple and simultaneous disruptions over the past year. The shocks of a global pandemic, economic downturn, social unrest, and climate change have given many of us pause—both to look at ourselves and our communities, and to ask what’s most important and what comes next. Questions of how we can live more sustainably and more equitably, and how we can do good while continuing to grow, have become more urgent than ever. With each decision they make, Canadians are actively shaping the society they want to live in. It’s up to companies to reflect these shifting values and needs by offering products, services, and initiatives that make a positive impact.
