Recommendation

Profound tumult and uncertainty characterized the year 2020: Myriad, interconnected crises have opened the political space to hold companies more accountable – while creating new possibilities for innovation.

Take-Aways

  • Soaring rhetoric won’t reform Corporate America. New laws will. 
  • Few corporate gestures toward social responsibility in 2020 were authentic.
  • Corporate reformers aim to pass laws to hold companies accountable for the public impact of their actions.
