Amazon has repeatedly declined to say how many warehouse employees

A company’s most valuable contribution to addressing COVID-19 resides

in using its unique assets and capabilities to meet the pressing needs of
individuals and communities.

The ways in which companies treat their workers in times of need present a real test of corporate
purpose. How do companies respond when employees cannot come to work due to mandated office

The private sector can be an influential voice in helping strengthen health
care and public health systems

For CSR, the coming months will therefore be pivotal. For the CSR departments, it will undoubtedly
have to be fought internally to assert its legitimacy. Faced with the crisis, it will be all the more
difficult to maintain budgets, to continue to invest in cleaner production methods, to finance co-
construction actions with stakeholders. But it is also a period of opportunity for CSR: that of

contributes better, it pays. And especially in the long term, or in the face of crises like those of the
coronavirus, or all the others that will inevitably arise.
