More is needed, yet this is a great start and is an example of how businesses are considering more than just profit to how they can help those in need. Once we eventually get through this, my hope is that more businesses will recognize that we are all interconnected. That true prosperity is where all stakeholders thrive. And that business is key to solving some of the world’s greatest problems. Now, more than ever, the world requires the robust and scalable power of finance. Hopefully, we will come out of this crisis with a greater awareness of the value of life.
