“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”…Martin Luther King Jr.
Dear Friends and Colleagues,
I hope you are well during these challenging times and Happy New Year.
Despite the lockdowns in 2020, we are still on track for a world that is going to be too warm to sustain life as we know it.
Earth’s climate is going through unprecedented changes in the history of modern civilization as a result of human behaviors. Without adaptation and mitigation strategies, substantial damages to the U.S. economy, environment, human health and well-being will continue to increase over the coming decades. These include increasing greenhouse gas emissions, higher temperature and precipitation extremes, flooding and wildfires.
This is influencing the migration patterns of humans, marine and wildlife species to find better places to live and survive in and outside of cities.
Nearly 8 million Americans fell into financial hardship last year, marking the single largest year-over-year increase since the government began tracking the poverty rate in 1960.
This is further underscoring the importance of convening action to address our planet’s challenging health, racial inequalities and environmental problems.
Since founding Reputation Dynamics in 2005, we have seen transformative progression in the corporate social responsibility movement, now transitioning to regenerating business practices based on truthfulness and purpose-driven. Companies continue to back their employees by protecting their health and safety while allowing them a greater voice in corporate decision-making and participation in virtual volunteer programs.
We are excited to represent clients, mingle with peers and share authentic narratives. I look forward to connecting with peers in 2021, inspire fresh thinking and new ideas for building a more equitable society.
With hope and optimism for future generations,
Samantha Taylor
