The company recently accomplished a 60% dependence on renewable energy and took steps to address the pandemic crisis by addressing ground-level issues of stakeholders.

He goes to explain the steps that essentially constitute compassionate leadership during a crisis by invoking new technology such as enabling digital platforms for tracking.
